ICD-10 Code A54.32 – Gonococcal iridocyclitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.32 – Gonococcal iridocyclitis
What it is
A54.32 identifies iridocyclitis caused by gonococcal infection, meaning inflammation of the iris and ciliary body linked to gonorrhea. Use it when the record clearly connects the eye inflammation to Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical iridocyclitis findings may include eye pain, redness, photophobia, tearing, and blurred vision, with signs of anterior uveitis on examination.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents gonococcal infection as the cause of iridocyclitis or anterior uveitis. It is appropriate when the eye condition is confirmed as part of disseminated or localized gonococcal disease. If the cause is not stated, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use A54.32 for nonspecific iridocyclitis, other infectious uveitis, or eye inflammation without a documented gonococcal cause. Check documentation if the infection source is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify that both the ocular diagnosis and gonococcal etiology are documented before coding this condition.
