2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B44.89 – Other forms of aspergillosis

What it is

B44.89 identifies aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus species when the record does not fit a more specific ICD-10 subtype. Use it for documented fungal infection that is not classified elsewhere.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Aspergillosis may present with respiratory symptoms, sinus involvement, or evidence of invasive fungal disease, depending on the site and host factors.

When to use this code

Use B44.89 when the provider documents aspergillosis but does not specify allergic bronchopulmonary, aspergilloma, or another named form. It is appropriate when the note states a non-specific or other Aspergillus infection.

Check that the diagnosis is confirmed or clearly assessed in the chart, not just suspected. If a more detailed subtype or site is documented, code that specific option instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, or other more specific aspergillosis categories. Also avoid it if the documentation does not support aspergillosis.

Coding tip

Look for the exact Aspergillus-related diagnosis wording in the assessment, and code the most specific documented form before defaulting to B44.89.
