Aspergillosis, unspecified

This code represents a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus species when the specific type or location of the infection is not documented. Aspergillosis can manifest in various forms, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, or invasive aspergillosis, affecting the lungs or other organs.

Assign this code when the medical record confirms a diagnosis of aspergillosis but lacks sufficient detail to specify the type, site, or clinical manifestation of the infection. This is appropriate when the provider's documentation simply states "aspergillosis" without further elaboration.

• Avoid using this code if more specific documentation is available (e.g., allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis).
• Query the provider for greater specificity if possible, as more precise codes exist for different forms of aspergillosis.
• Do not use this code for Aspergillus colonization without evidence of active infection.
