ICD-10 Code B08.7 – Yatapoxvirus infections (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B08.7 – Yatapoxvirus infections
What it is
B08.7 identifies infections caused by yatapoxviruses, a group of poxviruses. Use it when the record specifically documents a yatapoxvirus infection rather than a more general viral rash or poxvirus illness.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Reported findings may include pox-like skin lesions, localized swelling, or systemic viral symptoms, but you should code only what is clearly documented.
When to use this code
Use B08.7 when the clinician documents a yatapoxvirus infection by name or confirms an infection caused by this virus group. It may also apply when the diagnosis is supported in the assessment and plan, even if the note is brief. Check documentation if the organism is unspecified.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other viral exanthems, nonspecific poxvirus infections, or suspected infection without confirmation. If the record names a different virus, code that documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Verify the exact viral name in the provider note before assigning B08.7.
