2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B60.19 – Other acanthamebic disease

What it is

B60.19 identifies acanthamebic infection that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. Use it when documentation confirms Acanthamoeba disease, but the site or form is not otherwise specified.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Acanthamebic disease may involve eye, skin, or central nervous system findings, depending on the site of infection and the patient’s presentation.

When to use this code

Use B60.19 when the record clearly states other acanthamebic disease or Acanthamoeba infection without a more specific code. It is appropriate when the provider documents the condition but does not identify a more precise manifestation. Check documentation for the affected site and any linked diagnoses.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for other parasitic infections or for suspected infection without confirmation. If the documentation names a specific acanthamebic manifestation with its own code, use that more specific code instead.

Coding tip

Code from the provider’s exact wording and confirm whether the infection is specified by site before choosing B60.19.
