T78.081A
ICD-10-CMAnaphylactic reaction due to egg with reactivity to baked egg, initial encounter
This code signifies a severe, systemic allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) specifically triggered by egg consumption, where the patient has also demonstrated reactivity to baked egg products. This indicates a persistent and potentially more severe form of egg allergy, as some individuals can tolerate baked egg despite raw egg allergy. The "initial encounter" denotes that this is the first time the patient is being seen for this specific condition.
Use this code when documenting an acute anaphylactic episode caused by egg exposure, and the patient's history or current presentation confirms reactivity even to egg that has been cooked (baked). This is appropriate for the initial diagnosis and treatment of such an event in an emergency department or outpatient setting.
