ICD-10 code for Enterobacter sakazakii infection

The ICD-10-CM code for Enterobacter sakazakii infection is B96.89 (Other specified bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere).

Within B96.8, choose B96.89 (Other specified bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Helicobacter pylori [H. pylori] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B96.81), vibrio vulnificus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B96.82) and Acinetobacter baumannii as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B96.83).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for 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 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.
