SNOMED Submission follow up | Yes | Request to deactivate 119323008 | Pus specimen (specimen) was denied, so we need to write up some guidance that could be included for this term during mapping process into our comment for the pus specimen terms: Note that pus and necrotic tissue cannot be distinguished by direct visual observation as differentiation requires a microscopic exam. This specimen concept does not include a declaration of how it has been evaluated or determined to be pus. Pus can certainly be found together with necrosis or with other pathologic processes. Medically lesions that contain pus are referred to as abscess. - John will take this text and modify to apply it to the term definition for 119323008, 258502009 for pus and then also add it to necrotic tissue 447407009 - making sure each of these texts only refer to the concept they belong to - we will use this text: For 119323008, 258502009 = Pus cannot be identified by gross examination by a clinician. It may only be identified through microscopic examination. For 447407009: Necrotic tissue cannot be identified by gross examination by a clinician. It may only be identified through microscopic examination. Specimen type is not normally updated after the diagnosis. |

Pus, tissue, or other material properly obtained from an abscess, biopsy, aspirate, drainage, exudate, lesion, or wound. To ensure proper growth of organisms, place swabs/specimen in anaerobic transporter. Do not refrigerate.
