What is the ICD10 code for Lymphogranuloma Venereum? And the ICD9 code for Lymphogranuloma Venereum?
Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain strains of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. The ICD10 code for LGV is A55. Unfortunately, ICD9 does not have a specific code for LGV. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this condition.
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain strains of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It primarily affects the lymphatic system and can lead to severe complications if left untreated. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), LGV is identified by the code A55.
The ICD-10 code A55 encompasses all clinical manifestations of LGV, including inguinal, anorectal, and other forms of the disease. It is important to note that the ICD-10 code A55 is specific to LGV and not Chlamydia trachomatis infections in general.
In the previous version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for LGV was 099.4. However, with the implementation of ICD-10, the codes became more detailed and specific, allowing for better tracking and management of diseases.
If you suspect you may have LGV or any other sexually transmitted infection, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. A healthcare professional can provide an accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and necessary support to prevent complications and further transmission.
