2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B38.81 – Prostatic coccidioidomycosis
What it is
B38.81 identifies coccidioidomycosis involving the prostate. Use it when the infection is documented as affecting the prostate gland, usually as a localized extrapulmonary manifestation.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note prostatitis-like symptoms, pelvic or perineal discomfort, urinary complaints, or evidence of fungal infection involving the prostate.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents prostatic coccidioidomycosis, coccidioidal prostatitis, or fungal infection of the prostate due to Coccidioides. It may also apply when pathology, imaging, or operative findings support prostate involvement and the diagnosis is established in the chart.
Do not use for
Do not use it for nonspecific prostatitis, urinary tract infection, or coccidioidomycosis limited to another site. If prostate involvement is not clearly documented, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm that the infection is specifically linked to the prostate before assigning B38.81.
