T78.120S
ICD-10-CMOther adverse food reaction due to egg with tolerance to baked egg, sequela
This code signifies a patient's history of an adverse reaction to egg, where the reaction was not an IgE-mediated allergy, but rather another type of adverse food reaction. Crucially, the patient has demonstrated tolerance to baked egg products, indicating a less severe or processed-egg-specific sensitivity. The "S" suffix indicates that this code is for sequelae, meaning it describes a condition that is a residual effect or complication of the initial adverse reaction.
Use this code when documenting a patient's long-term management or follow-up for a past adverse food reaction to egg that was not a true allergy, and they can tolerate baked egg. This would apply to scenarios where the patient is being monitored for ongoing dietary restrictions, or if the initial reaction led to a chronic condition or complication. It's appropriate for established diagnoses where the acute phase has passed.
