ICD-10 Code B41.8 – Other forms of paracoccidioidomycosis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B41.8 – Other forms of paracoccidioidomycosis
What it is
B41.8 identifies paracoccidioidomycosis presentations that do not fit the more specific coded forms. Use it for this endemic fungal infection when the record supports paracoccidioidomycosis but not a different B41 subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Standard references describe systemic fungal disease with possible pulmonary, mucosal, skin, or lymph node involvement, but the exact pattern should be confirmed in the chart.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents paracoccidioidomycosis and specifies an “other” or unspecified subtype not captured by a more specific code. It may apply when the infection is confirmed, but the site or clinical form is not detailed enough for another B41 code.
Do not use for
Do not use B41.8 if the record clearly supports another paracoccidioidomycosis code, such as a more specific clinical form. Also avoid it when documentation is too vague; check documentation and code the stated diagnosis accurately.
Coding tip
Look for the exact wording “other forms” or equivalent documentation before assigning B41.8.
