Cytomegaloviral disease, unspecified

This code represents a diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection where the specific manifestation or organ involvement is not documented. It indicates the presence of CMV disease without further clinical detail regarding the affected body system.

Use this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of cytomegaloviral disease but lacks specificity regarding the site or type of manifestation (e.g., CMV retinitis, CMV colitis). This code is appropriate when the provider simply states "cytomegaloviral disease" without additional clinical context.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific CMV manifestation (e.g., B25.0 for CMV pneumonitis) is documented.
• Query the provider for greater specificity if possible to allow for more precise coding.
• This code is often used in immunocompromised patients, but its use is not restricted to this population.
