SUPERFICIAL FUNGAL INFECTIONS ICD-10: B36.
Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candida normally lives on skin and inside the body such as in the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems.
Having uncontrolled diabetes. Having a weak immune system. Eating a diet with excess refined carbohydrates, yeast and sugar. Taking antibiotics, steroids, hormones or oral contraceptives.
Thrush is caused by a fungus called candida that is normally harmless. Thrush tends to grow in warm, moist conditions and develops if the balance of bacteria changes. This can happen if: your skin is irritated or damaged.
ICD-10-CM Code for Tinea cruris B35. 6.
“Tinea” means fungus, the cause of the rash, and “corporis” means the body. It's a superficial fungal skin infection caused by dermatophytes, which are a type of fungus. It can occur on the: torso.
Genital candidiasis is not considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI), but transmission can occur during vaginal intercourse. Oral or local antifungal treatments can be used to treat candidiasis. Good hygiene practices can help prevent it.
In otherwise healthy people who have thrush, cutaneous candidiasis, or vaginal yeast infections, Candida infections usually can be eliminated with a short treatment (sometimes a single dose) of antifungal medication.
The standard recommended dose for most Candida infections is fluconazole at 800 mg as the loading dose, followed by fluconazole at a dose of 400 mg/d either intravenously or orally for at least 2 weeks of therapy after a demonstrated negative blood culture result or clinical signs of improvement.
Oral thrush (or simply “thrush”) is a yeast infection caused by Candida. While uncomfortable, a thrush infection isn't necessarily contagious. The yeast can spread from person to person, but someone who comes into contact with thrush won't automatically develop the infection.
Infection with a fungus of the genus candida; usually a superficial infection of the moist areas of the body and is generally caused by candida albicans; includes chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, cutaneous candidiasis, oral candidiasis (thrush), and monilial vaginitis.
Type 1 Excludes Help. A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as B37.
Candidiasis. B37 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.

A condition in which candida albicans, a type of yeast, grows out of control in moist skin areas of the body. It is usually a result of a weakened immune system, but can be a side effect of chemotherapy or treatment with antibiotics. Thrush usually affects the mouth (oral thrush); however, rarely, it spreads throughout the entire body.
