ICD-10 Code A02.2 – Localized salmonella infections (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A02.2 – Localized salmonella infections
What it is
A02.2 identifies salmonella infection limited to a specific site rather than a generalized intestinal illness. Use it when documentation names a localized salmonella infection, such as a focal extraintestinal infection.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings depend on the infected site and may include localized pain, swelling, fever, or other organ-specific signs consistent with a salmonella focus.
When to use this code
Use A02.2 when the provider documents a localized salmonella infection and does not describe simple gastroenteritis alone. It may apply when a focal infection is identified outside the intestine. If the record is unclear about the site, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated intestinal salmonella infection or nonspecific diarrhea without a documented localized focus. If the chart only says “salmonella infection” with no site, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm the infection site in the note; A02.2 depends on documentation of a localized salmonella focus.
