Extrinsic asthma is simply asthma caused by an allergic reaction, especially a chronic one. If your asthma is allergic, you will have higher levels of IgE (Immunoglobulin E) present in your blood test.
Introduction. Status asthmaticus is a medical emergency, an extreme form of asthma exacerbation characterized by hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and secondary respiratory failure.
Overview. During an asthma attack, also called an asthma exacerbation, the airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract and the airways produce extra mucus, causing the breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow. During an attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing.Asthma attack - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinichttps://www.mayoclinic.org › syc-20354268https://www.mayoclinic.org › syc-20354268
Asthma is classified as moderate persistent if symptoms occur daily. Flare-ups occur and usually last several days. Coughing and wheezing may disrupt the child's normal activities and make it difficult to sleep. Nighttime flare-ups may occur more than once a week.Mild, Moderate, Severe Asthma: What Do Grades Mean?https://www.healthychildren.org › allergies-asthma › Pageshttps://www.healthychildren.org › allergies-asthma › Pages

As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use this equivalent ICD-10-CM code, which is an approximate match to ICD-9 code 493.00:

Hi everyone! We're excited to announce that we'll be working with medical billing software provider Lightning MD to improve the Lookup and provide helpful information to billers, coders, and healthcare professionals.
The Lightning MD founders are expert billers who created their own billing software out of frustration with the options available - when it comes to software for healthcare, these guys "get it." In our search for a medical billing software firm that could help us take the Code Lookup to the next level, Lightning MD emerged as the perfect partner.
We can't thank the Lightning MD team enough for the help they've provided so far, and we're very excited to take the Lookup to the next level.
The transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM occurred on October 1, 2015. In 2015, asthma hospitalization and emergency department visits data for the first three quarters of the year were coded as ICD-9-CM (493.0-493.9) and the fourth quarter was coded as ICD-10-CM (J45.0-J45.998). If you received 2015 data with both coding schemes, you will have to differentiate ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM records to identify asthma-related hospitalization and emergency department visits. However, if your state coded the complete year (2015) using ICD-9-CM codes, then there will be no change to how data are analyzed and reported. For both scenarios, trend analysis will require a dash or other symbol indicating a coding change.
The transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM will impact public health surveillance activities, particularly those regarding asthma morbidity and healthcare utilization. A major challenge for asthma surveillance is the difference in coding for asthma. There will also be a lag in data collection to analyze trends.
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a morbidity classification published by the United States for classifying diagnoses and reason for visits in all health care settings. The ICD-10-CM is based on the ICD-10, the statistical classification of disease published by the World Health Organization (WHO). Deaths have been coded using asthma diagnostic codes (ICD-9 Code: 493; or ICD-10 Codes: J45, J46) as the underlying causes of death. However, a clinical modification of the classification for morbidity purposes has been developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the federal agency responsible for use of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD-10-CM) in the United States. 1
The ICD-10-CM code sets have updated medical terminology and disease classifications, thus ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM are vastly different. There are nearly 5 times as many diagnosis codes in ICD-10-CM than in ICD-9-CM. The clinical modification represents significant changes from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM which include:
the creation of combination diagnosis/symptom codes to reduce the number of codes needed to fully describe a condition
