ICD-10 code for tuberculous laryngitis

The ICD-10-CM code for tuberculous laryngitis is A15.5 (Tuberculosis of larynx, trachea and bronchus).

Within A15 (respiratory tuberculosis), A15.5 is specifically for tuberculosis of larynx, trachea and bronchus. Related codes cover tuberculosis of lung (A15.0), tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes (A15.4), tuberculous pleurisy (A15.6), primary respiratory tuberculosis (A15.7), other respiratory tuberculosis (A15.8) and unspecified (A15.9).

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 177 (Respiratory Infections and Inflammations with MCC, relative weight 1.6092), DRG 178 (Respiratory Infections and Inflammations with CC, relative weight 0.9744), DRG 179 (Respiratory Infections and Inflammations without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7345), DRG 974 (HIV with Major Related Condition with MCC, relative weight 3.0506), DRG 975 (HIV with Major Related Condition with CC, relative weight 1.3252) and DRG 976 (HIV with Major Related Condition without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8124), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System) and MDC 25 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
