Family history of other infectious and parasitic diseases

This code indicates a patient has a family history of infectious or parasitic diseases, excluding those specifically categorized elsewhere (e.g., HIV, tuberculosis). It signifies a genetic predisposition or shared environmental exposure within the family that may increase the patient's risk for similar conditions.

Apply this code when a patient's medical record documents a family history of conditions such as hepatitis (non-viral specific), sexually transmitted infections (other than HIV), or other communicable diseases that are not individually coded with a specific family history code. This is often used for risk assessment and preventative care planning.

• Ensure the family history is clearly documented in the patient's chart.
• Do not use this code if a more specific family history code for an infectious disease (e.g., Z83.0 for HIV) is available.
• This code is for family history only; it does not indicate the patient currently has the disease.
