ICD-10 Code A54.39 – Other gonococcal eye infection (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.39 – Other gonococcal eye infection
What it is
A54.39 identifies gonococcal infection of the eye that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It is used for conjunctival or ocular involvement caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae when documentation supports that diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include acute eye redness, marked discharge, swelling, pain, and rapid progression consistent with gonococcal ocular infection.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents gonococcal eye infection and the record does not specify a more precise site or type. It may apply to confirmed ocular gonorrhea affecting structures of the eye. If the chart only says conjunctivitis without gonococcal cause, do not assume A54.39.
Do not use for
Do not use it for non-gonococcal conjunctivitis, unspecified eye infection, or genital gonorrhea without ocular involvement. Check documentation if the organism or eye site is unclear.
Coding tip
Confirm both the gonococcal cause and eye involvement in the provider note before assigning A54.39.
