Enteroviral vesicular stomatitis with exanthem

This code represents a viral infection caused by an enterovirus, characterized by painful oral lesions (vesicles and ulcers) and a rash (exanthem) on the skin, often on the hands, feet, and buttocks. It is commonly known as Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD). The condition is typically mild and self-limiting, primarily affecting infants and young children.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, specifically noting the presence of both oral lesions and a characteristic skin rash. This code is appropriate for cases where the causative agent is identified or presumed to be an enterovirus. Clinical notes describing vesicular lesions in the mouth and on extremities, along with systemic symptoms like fever, support its use.

• Do not use this code for herpetic stomatitis, which is caused by the herpes simplex virus and has a different code.
• Ensure documentation specifies both oral vesicles/ulcers and an exanthem to support this specific diagnosis.
• Consider additional codes for any associated complications or specific enteroviral types if documented (e.g., B97.10 for unspecified enterovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere).
