2025 ICD-10-CM code A98.4

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare and deadly viral illness.

Use additional code to identify resistance to antimicrobial drugs (Z16.-).Do not use this code for suspected carriers of infectious disease (Z22.-).

Medical necessity for EVD treatment is established by the confirmed diagnosis.Supportive care is medically necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Diagnosis involves assessing patient history of exposure, physical examination, and laboratory tests such as RT-PCR, antigen-capture ELISA, and blood cultures. Treatment primarily focuses on supportive care including fluid and electrolyte replacement, oxygen therapy, and blood transfusions if necessary.

In simple words: Ebola is a very dangerous disease that can cause fever, headaches, muscle aches, and sore throat. It can also cause stomach problems like vomiting and diarrhea, as well as bleeding inside and outside the body. Sometimes, it can affect the brain, leading to confusion or seizures.

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe, often fatal illness caused by the Ebola virus.It is characterized by fever, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, followed by gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.Bleeding, both internal and external, can occur.Neurological symptoms such as confusion, seizures, and altered consciousness are also possible.

Example 1: A patient presents with sudden high fever, muscle aches, headache, and sore throat after returning from an area known to have Ebola cases.Subsequent tests confirm Ebola virus disease., A healthcare worker experiences needlestick injury while treating an Ebola patient and develops symptoms consistent with EVD., A patient presents with fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and unexplained bleeding. Upon further investigation, and a travel history to an affected region, EVD is diagnosed.

Documentation should include details of presenting symptoms, travel history, possible exposure to infected individuals or animals, and laboratory results confirming the presence of Ebola virus.
