Toxoplasma hepatitis

This code represents inflammation of the liver caused by an infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This condition is a manifestation of toxoplasmosis, specifically affecting hepatic tissue. It can lead to liver dysfunction and is often seen in immunocompromised individuals.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "Toxoplasma hepatitis" or "hepatitis due to toxoplasmosis." This diagnosis is typically supported by laboratory findings confirming Toxoplasma gondii infection and evidence of liver inflammation (e.g., elevated liver enzymes, imaging findings).

• Always confirm the causative agent is Toxoplasma gondii to differentiate from other forms of hepatitis.
• Consider co-reporting with codes for the underlying toxoplasmosis if not already specified as a manifestation.
• Review documentation for patient's immune status, as toxoplasma hepatitis is more prevalent in immunocompromised individuals.
