Certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00–B99)
Chapter 1 of the ICD-10-CM classification covers certain infectious and parasitic diseases, which are identified using codes from A00 to B99. These codes are used to classify a wide range of illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other infectious agents.
This chapter includes infections such as intestinal infectious diseases, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and malaria. It also addresses diseases resulting from parasitic infestations and certain other infections that can affect multiple organ systems. Healthcare providers and medical coders use these codes to accurately describe conditions involving infectious agents for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring purposes. The range ensures precise classification of infectious diseases that may have significant public health implications, supporting effective communication and management within clinical and epidemiological settings.
