Infection oth prt genitl trct in pregnancy, second trimester

This code signifies a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection affecting any part of the female genital tract (excluding the urinary tract, cervix, or vagina) during the second trimester of pregnancy. Examples include infections of the uterus (e.g., endometritis), fallopian tubes (e.g., salpingitis), or ovaries (e.g., oophoritis) that are directly related to the pregnancy.

Use this code when a pregnant patient in her second trimester presents with a documented infection of a genital organ other than the cervix, vagina, or urinary tract. Documentation should specify the site of infection within the genital tract and confirm the gestational age.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the second trimester of pregnancy.
• Distinguish from O23.4- (Infection of urinary tract in pregnancy) and O23.51- (Infection of cervix and vagina in pregnancy).
• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when the primary reason for the encounter is the management of the infection itself.
