ICD-Code T80.2: Infections following infusion, transfusion or therapeutic injection
You have an infection after you were given blood, blood components or specific drugs.
Blood, blood components and certain drugs can be administered directly into the blood vessels via a tiny tube. This tube is inserted into a blood vessel using a needle. For this purpose, a needle is inserted into the blood vessel. The tube can remain in the blood vessel for several days. Drugs can be injected into or under the skin.
In your case, pathogens entered your body through the needle or the tube. These pathogens triggered an infection. This type of infection can spread through the entire body.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
