Hints: there аre NO extrа blаnks. The diagnоses shоuld include an adverse effect cоde (a T code). The exfoliation of the skin requires a code. The procedure is a transfusion. A 4 YO female was admitted to the hospital directly from her pediatrician's office because of symmetrical, raised, red skin lesions over 20% of her body. She also had edema of her upper and lower eyelids (4 different codes!). The child had r3ecently been treated with a penicillin-type drug for a URI, and it was suspected that the child was having a reaction to that drug. A pediatric infectious disease specialist examined the patient immediately. After reviewing the laboratory results, the soncultant concluded that the patient had Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which is a toxic epidermal necrolysis that produces the type of skin lesions seen on this child. The consultant attributed the edema of the eyelids to the same syndrome. The patient received a 4-day treatment of IV immunoglobulin drugs through a peripheral vein (this requires one code)and made an excellent recovery. The consultant stated that 20 to 25% exfoliation of her skin surface caused by the Stevens-Johnson syndrome was an adverse effect of the penicillin. The child was discharged home to her parents' care with pediatric home health nursing f/u. Principal Diagnosis: Add'l Dx: Add'l Dx: Add'l Dx: Add'l Dx: Add'l Dx: Add'l Dx: Principal Procedure:
