2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B40.7 – Disseminated blastomycosis

What it is

Disseminated blastomycosis is a fungal infection that has spread beyond the lungs to other parts of the body. It usually reflects systemic disease caused by Blastomyces species.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly documented findings include fever, weight loss, skin lesions, bone involvement, or other evidence of extrapulmonary spread.

When to use this code

Use B40.7 when the record clearly states disseminated blastomycosis or blastomycosis with spread to multiple organs or sites. You may also use it when the provider documents systemic blastomycosis with extrapulmonary involvement. Check documentation for the specific sites affected if they are listed.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for localized pulmonary blastomycosis without dissemination. If the chart only says suspected, possible, or history of blastomycosis, check documentation before coding.

Coding tip

Assign B40.7 only when dissemination is explicitly documented or clearly supported by the provider’s note.
