Under the CMS General Equivalence Mappings, it maps to 2 ICD-10-CM candidates: A24.3 and A24.9.

Questions About 025
Is 025 (melioidosis) still a valid code?
No. This code belonged to ICD-9-CM, which the United States retired after September 30, 2015. Claims with dates of service on or after October 1, 2015 must use ICD-10-CM codes, such as A24.3 and A24.9.
What is the ICD-10 replacement for 025?
The General Equivalence Mappings list 2 ICD-10-CM candidates for this code: A24.3 (Other melioidosis) and A24.9 (Melioidosis, unspecified). Each match is approximate, so the right choice depends on what the documentation supports.
What did 025 mean?
In the final ICD-9-CM release, this code described melioidosis. It sat in block 025 Melioidosis under Infectious and parasitic diseases (001–139).
Why does 025 map to more than one ICD-10 code?
ICD-10-CM is more specific than ICD-9-CM. The detail packed into this single legacy code was split across A24.3 and A24.9, so the General Equivalence Mappings list every candidate rather than forcing one. The correct target is the one the documentation supports.
