Other forms of aspergillosis

This code represents various manifestations of aspergillosis that do not fit into more specific categories of the disease, such as invasive pulmonary aspergillosis or aspergilloma. It encompasses less common or atypical presentations of fungal infection caused by Aspergillus species affecting different organ systems.

Use this code when documentation specifies aspergillosis but does not provide enough detail to assign a more precise code, or when the clinical picture describes a form of aspergillosis not otherwise classified. This includes conditions like cutaneous aspergillosis, aspergillus sinusitis without invasive features, or aspergillus osteomyelitis, provided no more specific code exists.

• Always seek further clarification from the provider if the documentation is vague regarding the specific type or site of aspergillosis.
• Do not use this code for aspergilloma (B44.1) or invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (B44.0).
• Code any associated manifestations or complications of the aspergillosis, such as organ involvement, in addition to this code.
