ICD-10 code: The ICD-10 code for Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is G40.83.
ICD-9 code: The ICD-9 code for Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is 345.8.
Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare and severe condition characterized by the sudden onset of epilepsy following a febrile illness. Unfortunately, ICD-10 does not have a specific code for FIRES. However, clinicians may use codes related to the symptoms or underlying conditions associated with FIRES. For instance, the ICD-10 code R56.9 can be used to classify seizures, unspecified. Additionally, if there is an identified infectious cause, codes from Chapter 1 (A00-B99) for specific infectious agents could be assigned.
As for the ICD-9 code, again, there isn't a specific code for FIRES. In ICD-9, the closest relevant code is 345.8, which refers to other forms of epilepsy and recurrent seizures. While this code does not capture the specific nature of FIRES, it can serve as a general classification for epileptic conditions.
It's important to note that the ICD coding system is periodically updated to reflect advances in medical knowledge, so it's possible that future revisions may include a more specific code for FIRES.
