T78.080A
ICD-10-CMAnaphylactic reaction due to egg with tolerance to baked egg, initial encounter
This code signifies an acute, severe, and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) specifically triggered by egg consumption. A key distinction for this code is the patient's demonstrated ability to tolerate baked egg products, indicating a specific sensitivity to uncooked or lightly cooked egg proteins.
Use this code for a patient experiencing their first documented anaphylactic episode due to egg ingestion, where clinical history or testing confirms tolerance to baked egg. This would apply to initial evaluations in emergency departments or urgent care settings following such an event.
