Gonocl infct of lower GU tract w periureth and acc glnd abcs

This code signifies a bacterial infection of the lower genitourinary tract caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, specifically involving the urethra and associated glands, and complicated by the formation of an abscess in the periurethral or accessory glands. This represents a more severe manifestation of gonococcal urethritis or cervicitis.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a confirmed gonococcal infection affecting the lower genitourinary tract (e.g., urethra, cervix) and explicitly states the presence of a periurethral or accessory gland abscess. This would typically be supported by positive gonorrhea testing and imaging or physical exam findings consistent with an abscess.

• Ensure documentation specifies "gonococcal" etiology and the presence of an "abscess" in the periurethral or accessory glands.
• Do not use for uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis or cervicitis without abscess formation.
• Consider additional codes for any associated symptoms or complications, such as sepsis, if documented.
