Other chlamydial genitourinary infection

This code signifies a chlamydial infection affecting the genitourinary system, excluding specific sites like the lower genitourinary tract, pelvic inflammatory disease, or epididymitis. It encompasses chlamydial infections of other or unspecified genitourinary organs.

Use this code when documentation specifies a chlamydial infection of the genitourinary system that isn't clearly localized to the lower GU tract (e.g., cervicitis, urethritis) or doesn't involve PID or epididymitis. Examples include chlamydial cystitis, pyelonephritis, or salpingitis not otherwise specified as PID. Documentation should clearly state "chlamydial" and the affected genitourinary organ.

• Do not use for chlamydial infections of the lower genitourinary tract (e.g., cervicitis, urethritis), which have more specific codes.
• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis if the chlamydial infection is a secondary condition.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "chlamydial" as the causative agent; otherwise, an unspecified infection code may be more appropriate.
