ICD-10-CMAnaphylactic reaction due to milk and dairy products with tolerance to baked milk, initial encounter
This code signifies a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) specifically triggered by the ingestion of milk or dairy products. Importantly, the patient has demonstrated the ability to tolerate baked milk products, indicating a specific sensitivity to unheated milk proteins.
This code is used when a patient presents with an initial episode of anaphylaxis confirmed to be caused by milk or dairy, and clinical documentation clearly states or implies tolerance to baked milk. This scenario often arises after accidental ingestion of milk in its unheated form, leading to a systemic allergic response.
