This is a 35-year-old HIV-positive male with progressive lymphadenopathy and unexplained fever, night sweats, and chills. Low osmolar CT scan of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and neck showed extensive lymphadenopathy involving mediastlnum and left hilum, paratracheal nodal chains, retroperiteoneum, right iliac nodal chains, and right inguinal nodes. There were several areas of atelectasis evident in the lung. CT guided needle biopsy of an emerged mediastinal node that was suspicious for tuberculosis. This was accomplished using visipaque contrast. The node in fact was AFB-positive. The patient was placed on respiratory isolation and serial sputums were obtained. The patient’s sputum contained positive AFB on concentrated specimen. Also, during the hospitalization, the patient complained of swelling in the bilateral lower extremities. Dopplers were negative for DVT. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis of intrathoracic, retroperitoneum, and Inguinal lymph nodes, tubercle bacilli found by microscopy. The patient will be referred to the clinic for management of his HlV disease and associated tuberculosis. What codes are assigned?
Need help with ICD-10-CM Code with POA indicator and MS'DRG and
lCD-10-PCS Code.
