Clinical Information

  • Churg-Strauss Syndrome

    widespread necrotizing angiitis with granulomas. pulmonary involvement is frequent. asthma or other respiratory infection may precede evidence of vasculitis. eosinophilia and lung involvement differentiate this disease from polyarteritis nodosa.
  • Eosinophilic Granuloma

    the most benign and common form of langerhans-cell histiocytosis which involves localized nodular lesions predominantly of the bones but also of the gastric mucosa, small intestine, lungs, or skin, with infiltration by eosinophils.
  • Kimura Disease

    a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by benign enlargement of cervical lymph node and salivary glands with increased levels of immunoglobulin e. unlike angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia it involves eosinophil infiltrates in lymph node and salivary glands and mostly found in asian males.
  • Polyarteritis Nodosa

    a form of necrotizing non-granulomatous inflammation occurring primarily in medium-sized arteries, often with microaneurysms. it is characterized by muscle, joint, and abdominal pain resulting from arterial infarction and scarring in affected organs. polyarteritis nodosa with lung involvement is called churg-strauss syndrome.
  • Eosinophils

    granular leukocytes with a nucleus that usually has two lobes connected by a slender thread of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing coarse, round granules that are uniform in size and stainable by eosin.

    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
