  https://www.contemporarypediatrics.com/view/what-to-consider-with-severe-or-persistent-diaper-rash

  Cultures should be taken, and intravenous antibiotics are usually started to help keep the infection from getting out of control. […] Severe infections and irritations can lead to the formation of abscesses and other problems that could require surgical intervention like debridement or other therapies. […] However, early recognition is key because these treatments usually can’t begin until sepsis is resolved or the infection is brought under some sort of control. […] Fever is a key symptom when it comes to uncovering the cause of severe diaper rash. […] Infants whose severe irritation develops from an underlying dermatological condition wouldn’t usually have a fever. […] Fever is more common in viral infections, and pediatricians need to keep viral diseases like herpes simplex in mind when looking at infectious causes.

• #3 Determine Diaper Rash Dx, Tests, With These Codes : Reader Question

  How do I code for candidiasis diaper rash? I get mixed answers from physicians on this, with some saying L22, some saying B37.2, and some saying both. […] Diagnosis coding for the condition would certainly include L22 (Diaper dermatitis). And, as B37.2 (Candidiasis of skin and nail) lists L22 as an Excludes2 code, meaning that both conditions can occur at the same time, then you can go ahead and code both together. In terms of sequencing, as the etiology of the diaper rash is known, and as the infectious agent is the subject of the treatment, B37.2 would be the primary diagnosis. […] The KOH test is so called because potassium hydroxide, known by its chemical formula KOH, is added to the skin sample to dissolve it and determine if the Candida albicans fungus is present. What is confusing from a coding perspective is that CPT lists two KOH tests: 87210 (Smear, primary source with interpretation; wet mount for infectious agents (eg, saline, India ink, KOH preps)) and 87220 (Tissue examination by KOH slide of samples from skin, hair, or nails for fungi or ectoparasite ova or mites (eg, scabies)). […] As your provider would, presumably, be testing a skin sample in this encounter, both the wording of the descriptor for 87220 and the note accompanying 87210, which states For KOH examination of skin, hair, or nails, see 87220, would indicate that 87220 would be the correct KOH test to bill.

  The physician must carefully consider the variety of causes of diaper rash before making a diagnosis. […] An effective evaluation of diaper rash relies on the willingness of the pediatrician to look beyond the obvious, said Susan Boiko, MD. […] „Make sure you know what your patient’s caregiver has been applying to the area, even to the point of asking them to bring all of the products and medications in a shopping bag,” said Boiko. […] All patients deserve a careful cutaneous evaluation with good lighting and magnification, Boiko stressed. […] „If the diagnosis is not certain,” said Boiko, „a complete skin examination, including intertriginous areas, scalp and mucous membranes may be helpful in focusing on a diagnosis.” […] Ancillary tests such as skin scrapings for microscopic examination and culture and skin biopsies can be used when a diagnosis is uncertain.
