Problem: Using the techniques described in this chapter carefully read through the case study and determine the most accurate ICD-10-CM code(s) and external cause code(s) if appropriate. Remember, check the chapter specific, sub-chapter specific and category specific notations within the Tabular list. Audrey Harkey, a 33-year-old female, comes to see Dr. Blankenship. Audrey is accompanied by her husband, Henry. Audrey complaints of fever, a stiff neck, and headaches. Henry states he is concerned because he has noticed some confusion. Audrey is admitted to the hospital, where a lumbar puncture is performed; 5 ml of cerebrospinal fluid is drawn. Test results confirm Dr. Blankenship's diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis. Be sure to list the codes, one code per box, in the correct sequence. Capitalization, punctuation, and spacing can impact whether or not your answer is correct. Follow coding best practices.
