Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the E53 range.
Pyridoxine Deficiency
Deficiency of PYRIDOXINE, one of the VITAMIN B 6 compounds. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).
Riboflavin Deficiency
A dietary deficiency of riboflavin causing a syndrome chiefly marked by cheilitis, angular stomatitis, glossitis associated with a purplish red or magenta-colored tongue that may show fissures, corneal vascularization, dyssebacia, and anemia. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Vitamin B Deficiency
A condition due to deficiency in any member of the VITAMIN B COMPLEX. These B vitamins are water-soluble and must be obtained from the diet because they are easily lost in the urine. Unlike the lipid-soluble vitamins, they cannot be stored in the body fat.
About the E53 Code Range
These deficiencies involve B group vitamins and sit within other nutritional deficiencies.
The subdivisions name E53.0 for riboflavin deficiency and E53.1 for pyridoxine deficiency. E53.8 covers other specified B group vitamin deficiencies, while E53.9 does not specify which B vitamin is deficient.
