Created by Alejandra Munoz, CPC, NCICS Infectious and parasitic diseases are reported from Chapter 1 of ICD-10-CM Infectious diseases occur when a pathogen invades the body and causes disease. Bacteria are one-celled organisms that are named according to their shapes and arrangements. o Bacterial infections include: o Salmonella o E. coli o Streptococci o Mycobacterium tuberculosis Fungi – Microscopic plant life that lacks chlorophyll and must have a source of matter for nutrition. Common fungal infections: o Yeast infections o Molds Organisms that feed on other organisms to nourish themselves. Common parasites include: o Protozoa o Helminths o Arthropods Viruses are the smallest of infectious pathogens. Common viral infections include: o Herpes zoster- shingles o Varicella- chickenpox o HIV- AIDS o Herpes simplex- genital herpes o RNA virus- German measles This range of codes includes cholera, shingellosis, and other bacterial infections. Food poisoning and viral intestinal infections are also found here. Common symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, fever, muscular aches, and malaise. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Reference the instructional notations found at the beginning of the section. Symptoms include: fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite and weight, coughing, hemoptysis, night sweats, and increased temperature later in the day and evening.

An underlying condition/infection is sequenced first, followed by the manifestation code. Coders should be cautious when reporting HIV cases and reference documentation prior to code assignment. Reference the Official ICD-10-CM Coding Guidelines for chapter-specific guidelines on: o HIV infections o Infectious agents as the cause of disease classified to other chapters o Infections resistant to antibiotics o Sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock Bowie, M.
