Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative neurological disorder that belongs to a group of conditions known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. It affects the brain, causing rapid mental decline, involuntary movements, and eventually leading to severe disability and death.

In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is A81.0. This code falls under the section "Certain infectious and parasitic diseases" and specifically represents the "Subacute spongiform encephalopathy." It is important to note that CJD has different subtypes, and the ICD-10 code A81.0 covers the classic or sporadic form of the disease.

In the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease was assigned the code 046.1. This code was located in the section "Other diseases due to viruses and Chlamydiae" and represented "Slow virus infection of the central nervous system."

It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional or refer to the official coding manuals for accurate and up-to-date information regarding specific codes. These codes are used by medical professionals for billing, research, and statistical purposes, assisting in the classification and tracking of diseases.
