The ICD-10 code for Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases due to partial STAT1 deficiency is D71.8. In the ICD-9 coding system, there is no specific code for this condition. It is important to consult a healthcare professional or refer to the official coding guidelines for accurate and up-to-date information.
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases due to partial STAT1 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system's ability to fight off mycobacterial infections. The ICD-10 code for this condition is D71.1, which falls under the category of "Other primary deficiencies of complement system" in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10).
On the other hand, the ICD-9 code for this condition is 279.12, categorized as "Deficiency of cell-mediated immunity." It is important to note that the ICD-9 code system has been replaced by ICD-10 for medical coding purposes.
Diagnosing and coding medical conditions accurately is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide appropriate treatment and care. Physicians and medical coders utilize these standardized codes to communicate diagnoses and conditions effectively. These codes help in medical research, statistical analysis, and insurance billing processes.
