What ICD10 would you choose for bacteremia with MRSA. No known source and not septic.

Bacteremia R78.81 and:


MRSA as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B95.62
or
MRSA unspecified site A49.02

Since you know that it's in the blood would that be considered a site and therefore use B95.62?

When would you use the A49.02?
