Typhoid arthritis

This code represents an inflammatory joint condition caused by Salmonella Typhi infection. It is a rare extraintestinal manifestation of typhoid fever, characterized by acute or chronic arthritis, often affecting large joints.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "typhoid arthritis" or "arthropathy due to typhoid fever." This diagnosis typically follows a confirmed Salmonella Typhi infection and presents with joint pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the arthritis to a confirmed typhoid infection.
• Do not confuse with other infectious arthropathies; specificity to typhoid is key.
• Sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for typhoid fever (A01.0) if both are present.
