Other forms of progressive coccidioidomycosis

This code represents disseminated or extrapulmonary coccidioidomycosis that is not specifically classified as primary pulmonary, meningeal, or cutaneous. It indicates a progressive fungal infection caused by Coccidioides species that has spread beyond the initial site of infection, affecting various organs or systems. This form often signifies a more severe and widespread manifestation of the disease.

Use this code when documentation specifies progressive coccidioidomycosis affecting sites other than the lungs (primary), meninges, or skin, or when the dissemination is generalized without a single predominant extrapulmonary site. Supporting documentation should clearly indicate systemic involvement or multiple organ system involvement by Coccidioides that doesn't fit more specific codes.

• Ensure documentation specifies "progressive" or "disseminated" coccidioidomycosis to differentiate from localized forms.
• Do not use if the infection is explicitly documented as primary pulmonary, meningeal, or cutaneous coccidioidomycosis, as more specific codes exist.
• Always sequence this code after the underlying cause of the coccidioidomycosis, if applicable (e.g., immunocompromised state).
