Genitourinary myiasis

This code describes the infestation of the genitourinary tract by fly larvae (maggots). This parasitic condition can affect various parts of the urinary and reproductive systems, leading to symptoms such as pain, discharge, and inflammation.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states the presence of myiasis within any part of the genitourinary system, such as the bladder, urethra, vagina, or external genitalia. This diagnosis is typically confirmed by visual identification of larvae or microscopic examination of tissue samples.

• Ensure documentation specifies the genitourinary system as the affected site; otherwise, a more general myiasis code may be appropriate.
• Code any associated infections or complications (e.g., cystitis, vaginitis) separately.
• Do not confuse with other parasitic infestations that are not caused by fly larvae.
