B48.2Allescheriasis

B48.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Allescheriasis. It belongs to category B48 (other mycoses, not elsewhere classified), block B35-B49 (mycoses) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within B48 (other mycoses, not elsewhere classified), B48.2 is specifically for Allescheriasis. Related codes cover Lobomycosis (B48.0), Rhinosporidiosis (B48.1), Geotrichosis (B48.3), Penicillosis (B48.4) and other specified mycoses (B48.8).

Don't report B48.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: eumycetoma (B47.0).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075), DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), DRG 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859), DRG 868 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0235) and DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 117.6 (Allescheriosis [Petriellidosis]).
