Pt had pyelonephritis early in pregnancy in first trimester, and continues in third trimester to be on medication to prevent recurrence. Do I code pyelonephritis as a current condition since it is being treated, or do I use a personal history code since provider states "history of"?

A/P: "History of pyelonephritis this pregnancy. Continue medication to suppress recurrence."
