Acute gastroenteritis is a common infectious disease syndrome, causing a combination of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. There are more than 350 million cases of acute gastroenteritis in the United States annually and 48 million of these cases are caused by foodborne bacteria.
Gastroenteritis documented as infectious but with an unspecified organism is classified to code 009.0. If the gastroenteritis is not further specified and noninfectious, assign code 558.9. In ICD-9-CM, the terms gastroenteritis, colitis, and enteritis are used interchangeably.

Norovirus is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis. Symptoms usually begin 12 to 48 hours after you come into contact with the virus and last 1 to 3 days. rotavirus. Symptoms usually begin about 2 days after you come into contact with the virus and last for 3 to 8 days.
When Salmonella bacteria are ingested, they pass through a person's stomach and colonize the small and large intestine. There, the bacteria invade the intestinal mucosa and proliferate. The bacteria can invade the lymphoid tissues of the gastrointestinal tract and spread to the bloodstream.
ICD-10 code R19. 7 for Diarrhea, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
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.
Gastroenteritis may be caused by infection with bacteria, parasites, or viruses. It may also be caused by food poisoning, allergic reactions, or reactions to certain medicines or foods. Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Inflammation of the small intestine.
Inflammation of the colon section of the large intestine (intestine, large), usually with symptoms such as diarrhea (often with blood and mucus), abdominal pain, and fever. Inflammation of the colon. Inflammation of the ileum. Inflammation of the intestine, especially of the small intestine.
Inflammation of the intestine, especially of the small intestine. Inflammation of the lining of the stomach and the intestines. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps (dull or sharp pains). Gastroenteritis may be caused by infection with bacteria, parasites, or viruses.
A disorder characterized by inflammation of the colon. An inflammatory disorder that affects the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. Most commonly, this is attributed to viruses; however bacteria, parasites or adverse reactions can also be the culprit. Symptoms include acute diarrhea and vomiting.
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 due to Shigella is classified to category 004, with a fourth-digit subcategory needed to identify the type.
Bacteria is another common cause, and symptoms typically last longer than two days. Code assignment for bacterial gastroenteritis depends on the organism involved. Gastroenteritis due to Escherichia coli is most common and is classified to subcategory 008.0. A fifth-digit subclassification is needed as follows:
The small intestines are primarily affected because of increased levels of diarrheal fluids and a greater loss of electrolytes and nutrients. The most common cause of gastroenteritis is viral, and it typically lasts for one to two days. Gastroenteritis due to a virus is classified to ICD-9-CM subcategory 008.6.
Vol. 20 No. 15. P. 28. Gastroenteritis, a nonspecific condition causing the stomach and intestines to become irritated and inflamed, is referred to as diarrhea associated with nausea and vomiting and may be classified as inflammatory, secretory, osmotic, or motile. The small intestines are primarily affected because of increased levels ...
Gastroenteritis due to a virus is classified to ICD-9-CM subcategory 008.6.
Intestinal infections affect the gastrointestinal tract and may be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast, fungus, or mold. In the ICD-9-CM Alphabetic Index, instructional notes direct the coder to “Enteritis, due to, by organism” when looking up “Infections, intestinal.”.
Viral intestinal infections are classified to category A08, and the common bacterial intestinal infections are classified to category A04. Food poisoning is also classified in this code block. Major types of foodborne illnesses include the following:
For coding purposes, dehydration may be sequenced as the principal or secondary diagnosis depending on the circumstances of admission and the attending physician’s judgment. Dehydration is the principal diagnosis if it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission.
Viruses and parasites do not cause foodborne intoxication. • Toxin-mediated infection is the consumption of a food containing harmful bacteria. The bacteria produce a toxin that causes an illness. Bacteria that may cause the toxin-mediated infection are Shigella spp and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
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).
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.
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.”.
