ICD10 code of Carrion's Disease / Oroya Fever and ICD9 code

Carrion's Disease, also known as Oroya Fever, is a rare infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bartonella bacilliformis. This condition is primarily found in the Andean regions of South America. In terms of coding, Carrion's Disease has specific ICD10 and ICD9 codes that are used for medical documentation and billing purposes.

The ICD10 code for Carrion's Disease is A44.0. This code falls under the category of "Other Rickettsioses," which encompasses various similar infectious diseases caused by different bacteria. The ICD10 code A44.0 specifically refers to Bartonellosis due to Bartonella bacilliformis.

In the older ICD9 coding system, Carrion's Disease is classified under code 088.0. This code represents "Bartonellosis," which includes infections caused by Bartonella species. It is worth noting that the ICD9 code does not differentiate between different Bartonella species, unlike the more detailed ICD10 code.

Proper coding is essential for accurate medical record keeping and billing purposes. Healthcare professionals utilize these codes to ensure consistent communication and understanding of various diseases. By assigning the appropriate ICD10 or ICD9 code for Carrion's Disease, medical practitioners can contribute to effective healthcare management and research.
