ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for Paratyphoid Fever, with classification details for clinicians, coders and patients.
Paratyphoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the Salmonella bacteria. The ICD-10 code for paratyphoid fever is A01.4. This code falls under the category of intestinal infectious diseases and is further classified as "Paratyphoid fever due to Salmonella typhi" in the code description.
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for paratyphoid fever is 002.1. Similar to the ICD-10 code, it also falls under the category of intestinal infectious diseases. However, in ICD-9, it is classified as "Paratyphoid fever" without specifying the Salmonella typhi subtype.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015, so the ICD-10 code is currently in use. The ICD codes are used for medical billing, tracking of diseases, and statistical purposes, allowing healthcare providers and researchers to classify and analyze various conditions and their prevalence.
Please remember to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for accurate and up-to-date coding information.
