Other amebic genitourinary infections

This code signifies an infection of the genitourinary system caused by Entamoeba histolytica or other amoebic species, excluding amebic dysentery or liver abscess. It encompasses various manifestations such as amebic cystitis, urethritis, or vaginitis, where the amoebic infection is localized to the urinary or reproductive organs.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states an amebic infection affecting the genitourinary tract, such as a confirmed diagnosis of amebic urethritis or amebic vaginitis. This code is appropriate when laboratory findings confirm the presence of amoebae in genitourinary samples, and the infection is not systemic or primarily intestinal.

• Ensure documentation specifies the genitourinary system as the site of the amebic infection.
• Distinguish from intestinal amebiasis (A06.0-A06.1) or amebic liver abscess (A06.4).
• Code any associated symptoms or complications separately, if applicable and supported by documentation.
