2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A07.1 – Giardiasis [lambliasis]

What it is

A07.1 identifies giardiasis, an intestinal infection caused by Giardia organisms. Use it when the record documents this specific parasitic infection, also called lambliasis.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, and foul-smelling or greasy stools. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use A07.1 when the provider documents giardiasis, Giardia infection, or lambliasis as the diagnosis. It also applies when the note clearly links gastrointestinal symptoms to confirmed Giardia infection. If the chart only says “infectious diarrhea” or “parasite,” check documentation before coding this specific code.

Do not use for

Do not use A07.1 for nonspecific diarrhea, other parasitic intestinal infections, or suspected Giardia without documentation. Check documentation if the organism is not identified.

Coding tip

Code A07.1 only when Giardia is named in the record or clearly confirmed.
