Clinical Information for Other respiratory disorders (J98)

Mediastinitis - Inflammation of the mediastinum, the area between the pleural sacs.

Middle Lobe Syndrome - Atelectasis of the right middle pulmonary lobe, with chronic pneumonitis. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis - Lung infections with the invasive forms of ASPERGILLUS, usually after surgery, transplantation, prolonged NEUTROPENIA or treatment with high-doses of CORTICOSTEROIDS. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis can progress to CHRONIC NECROTIZING PULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS or hematogenous spread to other organs.

Pulmonary Aspergillosis - Infections of the respiratory tract with fungi of the genus ASPERGILLUS.

Bronchomalacia - A congenital or acquired condition of underdeveloped or degeneration of CARTILAGE in the BRONCHI. This results in a floppy bronchial wall making patency difficult to maintain. It is characterized by wheezing and difficult breathing.

Subcutaneous Emphysema - Presence of air or gas in the subcutaneous tissues of the body.

Mediastinal Emphysema - Presence of air in the mediastinal tissues due to leakage of air from the tracheobronchial tree, usually as a result of trauma.

Aspergillus - A genus of mitosporic fungi containing about 100 species and eleven different teleomorphs in the family Trichocomaceae.

Instructional Notations

Use Additional Code Use Additional Code
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.

• code to identify:
• exposure to environmental tobacco smoke Z77.22
• exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period P96.81
• history of tobacco dependence Z87.891
• occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke Z57.31
• tobacco dependence F17
• tobacco use Z72.0

Type 1 Excludes Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

• newborn apnea P28.4
• newborn sleep apnea P28.3

Type 2 Excludes Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

• apnea NOS R06.81
• sleep apnea G47.3
