Yatapoxvirus infection, unspecified

This code represents an infection caused by a Yatapoxvirus, a genus of poxviruses. These infections typically manifest with skin lesions, such as nodules or ulcers, and can occur in both humans and non-human primates. The "unspecified" nature indicates that the specific type of Yatapoxvirus is not documented.

Use this code when documentation confirms a Yatapoxvirus infection but does not specify the particular species (e.g., Tanapox virus, Yaba monkey tumor virus). This code is appropriate when the physician's diagnosis explicitly states "Yatapoxvirus infection" without further detail. Supporting documentation would include laboratory confirmation or a clinician's definitive diagnosis.

• Only use this code when the specific Yatapoxvirus species is unknown or not documented.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific Yatapoxvirus infection (e.g., Tanapox) is identified; instead, use the appropriate specific code.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates an infection by a Yatapoxvirus, even if the specific type is not identified.
