ICD-10-CM A23: Brucellosis Overview
The diagnoses in the ICD-10-CM A23 group represent infections caused by Brucella species, a zoonotic bacterial disease classically affecting reticuloendothelial and musculoskeletal systems but capable of systemic involvement. These conditions target multiple organ systems including blood, bones and joints, and the genitourinary tract, and frequently require accurate documentation of acute versus chronic and localized versus systemic disease. Precise coding matters for clinical continuity, public health reporting, and appropriate reimbursement for services provided.
