Toxoplasmosis of other specified sites

This code describes toxoplasmosis infections affecting specific anatomical locations other than the central nervous system, eye, lung, or lymph nodes. It indicates a parasitic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii manifesting in various organ systems not otherwise classified.

Use this code when documentation specifies toxoplasmosis affecting sites such as the heart (myocarditis), liver (hepatitis), or skeletal muscle, and these are not explicitly coded elsewhere. Supporting documentation should clearly identify Toxoplasma gondii as the causative agent and specify the affected organ or tissue.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a site of infection that is not covered by more specific toxoplasmosis codes (e.g., 130.0 for CNS, 130.2 for ocular).
• Do not use this code for unspecified toxoplasmosis; refer to 130.9 for such cases.
• Always sequence this code after the underlying condition if the toxoplasmosis is a manifestation of another disease, such as HIV.
