Gonorrhea complicating pregnancy, second trimester

This code signifies a diagnosis of gonorrhea occurring during a pregnancy that is currently in its second trimester. It indicates an active gonococcal infection in a pregnant patient, specifically between the 14th and 27th week of gestation.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient presents with a confirmed diagnosis of gonorrhea and is within the second trimester of her pregnancy. Documentation should clearly state the presence of gonorrhea and the gestational age or trimester of the pregnancy.

• Always confirm the trimester of pregnancy from the medical record; do not assume.
• Code any associated manifestations or complications of the gonorrhea separately.
• Do not use this code if the gonorrhea was treated and resolved prior to the second trimester, or if the patient is in a different trimester.
