Chagas' disease (B57)

The ICD-10 code section B57 covers Chagas' disease, a parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. These codes specifically categorize different clinical stages and organ involvements, including acute and chronic forms affecting the heart, digestive system, nervous system, and other organs.

The ICD-10 code for Chagas' disease ranges from B57.0 for acute cases with heart involvement to B57.5 for chronic cases involving other organs such as the skin. Synonyms like "Acute Chagas' disease with heart involvement" associate with B57.0, while "Chagoma" and "Trypanosomiasis affecting skin" relate to B57.1 and B57.5. Digestive complications, including "Megaesophagus" and "Megacolon", are captured under B57.31 and B57.32. Nervous system manifestations like "Meningitis due to Chagas disease" and "Meningoencephalitis" correspond to B57.41 and B57.42, respectively. These detailed codes help healthcare professionals accurately document the specific manifestations of Chagas' disease for effective diagnosis, management, and billing.
