Herpesviral infection of other urogenital tract

This code signifies a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection affecting parts of the genitourinary system other than the lower genital tract (e.g., vulva, vagina, penis, scrotum). This could include HSV involvement of the bladder, urethra, kidneys, or prostate. It represents an active infection causing symptoms in these areas.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a herpesviral infection of an upper urinary tract organ (e.g., herpes cystitis, herpes urethritis, or HSV prostatitis). Supporting documentation should specify the affected "other urogenital tract" site and confirm HSV as the causative agent, often through viral culture or PCR.

• Do not use for recurrent herpes simplex without specifying the affected site.
• Distinguish from A60.00 (unspecified anogenital herpesviral infection) when a specific "other urogenital tract" site is documented.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated symptoms (e.g., dysuria, hematuria) if they are not inherent to the herpesviral infection itself.
