Additional Info

Excludes: This code should be used when none of the other codes for GI infections are applicable:

	ICD10 Code
Cholera (due to Vibrio cholerae)	A00
Typhoid fever or Paratyphoid fever (due to Salmonella typhi or Salmonella enterica)	A01
Salmonella enteritis	A02.0
Salmonella species	A02.8
Shigellosis (dysentery due to Shigella species)	A03
Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff)	A04.7
Gastrointestinal infection (gastroenteritis, colitis), bacterial, NOS	A04.9
Botulism (due to Clostridium botulinum toxin)	A05.1
Food poisoning (due to foodborne bacterial toxin), NOS	A05.9
Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery due to Entamoeba histolytica)	A06.0
Entamoeba histolytica (amoebic infection of non-intestinal sites)	A06.8
Gastrointestinal infection (gastroenteritis, colitis), protozoal, NOS	A07
Gastrointestinal infection (gastroenteritis, colitis), viral	A08

• This code should have a pathogen entry too, but because there are already more specific codes for GI infections that are bacterial, viral or protozoal (see list above), with this more general wastebasket code for GI infections, the pathogen should ONLY be either Other type of infectious organism, NOS or Infectious organism, unknown.

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

• Food poisoning (due to foodborne bacterial toxin), NOS
• Duodenitis
• Typhoid fever or Paratyphoid fever (due to Salmonella typhi or Salmonella enterica)
• Salmonella enteritis
• Cholera (due to Vibrio cholerae)
• Shigellosis (dysentery due to Shigella species)
• Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff)
• Botulism (due to Clostridium botulinum toxin)
• Listeria
• Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery due to Entamoeba histolytica)
• Adenovirus

Candidate Combined ICD10 codes

Infections

Infections in ICD10 have combined coding requirements for some of their pathogens. Any that have antibiotic resistances would store those as Combined ICD10 codes as well. If the infection is acquired in the hospital, see Nosocomial infection, NOS. See Lab and culture reports for confirmation and details about tests. See Infections in ICD10 for more general info.
