Other forms of cryptococcosis

This code represents cryptococcal infections affecting sites other than the lungs, brain, or skin, or disseminated forms not otherwise specified. It encompasses rare or atypical presentations of cryptococcosis that don't fit into more specific anatomical categories.

Use this code for documented cryptococcal infections of the bone, kidney, prostate, or other visceral organs when a more specific ICD-10-CM code is not available. Documentation should clearly state the affected organ or system and confirm the cryptococcal etiology.

• Always seek more specific codes for pulmonary, meningeal, or cutaneous cryptococcosis before using this code.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly identifies the affected site as "other" or "unspecified disseminated" if a more precise code is unavailable.
• Code any associated manifestations or complications of the cryptococcal infection separately, if applicable.
