ICD10 code of Fluoroquinolone Toxicity and ICD9 code

Fluoroquinolone toxicity refers to the adverse effects associated with the use of fluoroquinolone medications. These drugs are commonly prescribed antibiotics that treat various bacterial infections. However, they can sometimes cause serious side effects, leading to fluoroquinolone toxicity.

In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), there is no specific code for fluoroquinolone toxicity. Instead, the adverse effects caused by these medications are classified under various codes depending on the specific manifestation or organ system involved. For example, if a patient experiences tendonitis or tendon rupture due to fluoroquinolone use, it would be classified under the code M66.2, which refers to spontaneous rupture of Achilles tendon.

Similarly, if a patient experiences peripheral neuropathy or nerve damage as a result of fluoroquinolone toxicity, it would be classified under the code G62.0, which refers to drug-induced polyneuropathy. Other potential manifestations such as arthropathy or joint disorders may be classified under different codes depending on the specific condition.

In the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, there was also no specific code for fluoroquinolone toxicity. Adverse effects were classified under various codes similar to ICD-10, depending on the specific manifestation or organ system involved.

It is important to note that the classification of adverse effects in both ICD-10 and ICD-9 is comprehensive and covers a wide range of conditions. Therefore, healthcare professionals can accurately document and code fluoroquinolone toxicity by specifying the specific adverse effect experienced by the patient.
