Anaphylactic reaction due to fruits and vegetables, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual effect stemming from a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) that was triggered by the ingestion of fruits or vegetables. It indicates that the acute anaphylactic episode has resolved, but the patient continues to experience a lasting consequence directly attributable to that event.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition or persistent symptom that is a direct result of a past anaphylactic reaction to fruits or vegetables. This applies after the acute phase of the anaphylaxis has passed, and the sequela is being treated or monitored.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific condition or symptom that is the sequela itself.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past anaphylactic event caused by fruits or vegetables.
• Do not use this code for the acute anaphylactic reaction; instead, use the appropriate acute anaphylaxis code with an external cause code.
