West Nile virus infection with other complications

This code signifies a confirmed West Nile virus (WNV) infection that has led to complications beyond the typical febrile illness, such as myocarditis, pancreatitis, or hepatitis, but does not involve neuroinvasive disease. It indicates systemic involvement of WNV affecting organs other than the central nervous system.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of West Nile virus infection accompanied by specific non-neurological complications. This would apply in cases where WNV is confirmed, and the patient presents with conditions like WNV-induced renal failure or WNV-associated rhabdomyolysis.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly documents a West Nile virus infection and a specific non-neurological complication.
• Do not use this code if the complication is neuroinvasive (e.g., encephalitis, meningitis, acute flaccid paralysis); instead, refer to codes within A92.30-A92.32.
• Code any associated manifestations or complications separately, if applicable, and sequence according to the primary reason for the encounter.
