T36-T50: Poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances
T37: Poisoning by other systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics
The group of conditions classified under "Poisoning by other systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics" refers to health issues that emerge due to unintentional or intentional ingestion, inhalation, application, or injection of certain substances meant to fight against infections and parasites. These substances, typically a part of prescribed medications, aim to combat infections and parasitic invasions in the body but can cause harm when misused or used in excess. The body's reaction to such poisoning can vary from person to person, but common symptoms might include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, confusion, or even seizures in severe cases. These symptoms typically manifest rapidly following exposure, depending on the particular substance and the amount consumed. At the system level, multiple body systems can be affected, including the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and digestive system, based on the nature and extent of the poisoning.
