Schistosomiasis due to schistosoma haematobium

This code represents an infection caused by the parasitic flatworm Schistosoma haematobium, specifically affecting the urinary tract. It is characterized by inflammation and damage to the bladder and ureters, often leading to hematuria and other genitourinary symptoms.

Use this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of schistosomiasis, and laboratory findings or clinical context specifically identify Schistosoma haematobium as the causative agent. This typically involves microscopic identification of S. haematobium eggs in urine samples or serological confirmation.

• Differentiate from other forms of schistosomiasis (e.g., due to S. mansoni or S. japonicum) which have distinct ICD-9-CM codes.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "haematobium" or "urinary schistosomiasis" to support this specific code.
• Code any associated complications, such as hydronephrosis or bladder cancer, separately and sequence appropriately.
