Salmonellosis is an infection with a bacteria called Salmonella, Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of animals, including birds. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Every year, approximately 40,000 cases of salmonellosis are reported in the United States.
Most people recover without specific treatment. Antibiotics are typically used only to treat people with severe illness. Patients should drink extra fluids as long as diarrhea lasts. In some cases, diarrhea may be so severe that the person needs to be hospitalized.

Most persons infected with Salmonella bacteria develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some persons, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized.

Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is illness caused by eating contaminated food.
How do doctors diagnose food poisoning? Doctors often diagnose food poisoning based on your symptoms. If your symptoms are mild and last only a short time, you typically won't need tests. In some cases, a medical history, a physical exam, stool tests, and blood tests can help diagnose food poisoning.
Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin that attacks the body's nerves. Symptoms of botulism usually start with weakness of the muscles that control the eyes, face, mouth, and throat. This weakness may spread to the neck, arms, torso, and legs.
The World Health Organization (WHO) noted that all cases of gastroenteritis are not foodborne, and all foodborne diseases do not cause gastroenteritis. However, food does represent an important vehicle for pathogens of great public-health attention.
Salmonella gastroenteritis. Clinical Information. Poisoning caused by ingestion of food harboring species of salmonella. Conditions of raising, shipping, slaughtering, and marketing of domestic animals contribute to the spread of this bacterium in the food supply.

Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhea, is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that involves the stomach and small intestine. Signs and symptoms include some combination of diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Fever, lack of energy, and dehydration may also occur. This typically lasts less than two weeks.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 003.0 was previously used, A02.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Intestinal infectious diseases may be caused by a microorganism itself, or by toxins produced by the microorganism. Generally, enteritis caused by the microorganism itself is classified as a foodborne infection, while enteritis caused by the toxin produced by the microorganism is classified as foodborne intoxication. One aspect that makes classification of intestinal infections difficult is that some enteric pathogens cause both types of enteritis; that is, the bacteria itself may cause enteritis, yet toxins produced by the same bacteria may exacerbate the condition.
Foodborne intoxications classified in Chapter 1 – Infectious and Parasitic Diseases result from toxins in bacteria or other organisms that are growing on food.
Categories A00-A04 report some of the more common foodborne intestinal infections caused by bacteria. Examples include:
Foodborne illnesses commonly are referred to as food poisoning. The term “food poisoning” generally refers to any illness resulting from a foodborne pathogen that causes intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The term also groups illnesses by symptoms rather than by the pathogen that causes the illness (such as a toxin, bacterium, virus or parasite). While laypeople still refer to illnesses caused by food as food poisoning, public health departments recognize and classify food poisoning as occurring either due to an infection (bacterium, virus, parasite or other microorganism) or due to a toxin. The terms used are “foodborne infection” and “foodborne intoxication.”
Viral enteritis and gastroenteropathies are classified in category A08, Viral and other specified intestinal infections. Examples include:
One reason for adopting ICD-10-CM that is cited frequently is the increased specificity provided by ICD-10 codes.
One aspect that makes classification of intestinal infections difficult is that some enteric pathogens cause both types of enteritis; that is, the bacteria itself may cause enteritis, yet toxins produced by the same bacteria may exacerbate the condition.
