Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
These symptoms generally last for one to two days before a blister-like rash appears on the hands, feet, and in the mouth. The rash initially emerges as small red spots, but then develops into blisters. The blisters may develop on the gums, inner cheeks, and tongue, and patients may complain of mouth pain and a sore throat.
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (Coxsackie viral infection)
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by viruses that belong to the Enterovirus family. Common causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease are: Coxsackievirus A16 is typically the most common cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease in the United States. Other coxsackieviruses can also cause the illness.

While children often show some level of symptoms, many adults do not have noticeable symptoms — or their symptoms may not be correctly linked to HFMD. But HFMD is contagious in people of all ages. Because adults will often not show any signs of the disease, good hygiene is the key to staying healthy.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious disease that is caused by different viruses. It usually affects infants and children under 5 years old, occasionally adults will also get the disease.
Acute febrile illness was defined as a patient with fever of 38°C or higher at presentation to ED or history of fever that persisted for 2–7 days with no localizing source.
A code listed next to a main term in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index is called a default code, which: • Represents the condition most commonly associated with the main term; or • Indicates that it is the unspecified code for the condition.

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common human syndrome caused by highly contagious intestinal viruses. HFMD is typically characterized by a mild fever followed by a rash of flat discolored spots and bumps that may blister, involving the skin of the hands, feet, mouth, and occasionally the buttocks and genitalia.
B08.4 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of enteroviral vesicular stomatitis with exanthem. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
074.3 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hand, foot, and mouth disease. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.

Viruses are capsules with genetic material inside. They are very tiny, much smaller than bacteria. Viruses cause familiar infectious diseases such as the common cold, flu and warts. They also cause severe illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, smallpox and hemorrhagic fevers.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
