Toxic Oil Syndrome is a condition caused by the ingestion of toxic oil. The ICD-10 code for Toxic Oil Syndrome is T80.6. In the previous ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code was 995.29. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Toxic Oil Syndrome (TOS) is a rare medical condition that emerged in Spain in the early 1980s, resulting from the consumption of adulterated rapeseed oil. This incident caused a significant public health crisis, leading to the development of specific diagnostic codes to classify the condition.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) code for Toxic Oil Syndrome is T80.2, which falls under the "Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified" category. This code is used to identify cases where TOS occurs as a complication of medical or surgical interventions.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) code for Toxic Oil Syndrome is 995.29. This code is part of the "Other and unspecified adverse effects of drugs, medicinal and biological substances" category. It is used to classify adverse effects resulting from the consumption of contaminated oil.
These codes are essential tools for healthcare professionals to accurately document and classify cases of Toxic Oil Syndrome, enabling appropriate treatment and epidemiological analysis. It is crucial to use these codes correctly to ensure accurate medical coding and billing practices.
