Sexually transmitted chlamydial infection of other sites

This code signifies a chlamydial infection affecting anatomical locations other than the genitourinary tract, anorectum, or pharynx. These infections are typically acquired through sexual contact and can manifest in various extragenital sites.

Use this code when documentation specifies a chlamydial infection of an unusual or less common site, such as the conjunctiva (chlamydial conjunctivitis) or respiratory tract (e.g., chlamydial pneumonia in adults, though rarer). The medical record should clearly state the chlamydial etiology and the specific extragenital site of infection.

• Do not use for chlamydial infections of the genitourinary tract, anorectum, or pharynx, as these have more specific codes.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly identifies Chlamydia trachomatis as the causative agent.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated symptoms or complications if applicable and supported by documentation.
