A patient is admitted to the hospital with the following diagnoses: On the day 1 : Cellulitis and Abscess of the left leg due to unspecified E.coli, After 2 days of admission he develops Septic shock, and Acute Renal Failure and encephalopathy due to the sepsis.

can be coded like the below:
1. PDx - L03.116, L02.416 (Local Infection)
2. B96.20 ( Reason for cellulitis)
3. A41.51 ( sepsis due to cellulitis due to E.coli )
4. R65.21
5. N17.9
