Acute sinusitis is most often caused by the common cold. Signs and symptoms may include a blocked and stuffy (congested) nose, which may block your sinuses and prevent drainage of mucus. Acute sinusitis is most often caused by the common cold, which is an infection with a virus.

What is acute sinusitis? Acute sinusitis is a short-term inflammation of the sinuses, most often including a sinus infection. (Sinusitis is also known as rhinosinusitis because the swelling almost always includes nasal tissue as well as sinus tissue.) The sinuses are four paired cavities (spaces) in the head.
noseA type of paranasal sinus (a hollow space in the bones around the nose). There are two large maxillary sinuses, one in each of the maxillary bones, which are in the cheek area next to the nose. The maxillary sinuses are lined with cells that make mucus to keep the nose from drying out.
Chronic sinusitis and acute sinusitis have similar signs and symptoms. But acute sinusitis is a temporary infection of the sinuses often associated with a cold. The signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis last at least 12 weeks, but you may have several episodes of acute sinusitis before developing chronic sinusitis.
Maxillary Sinusitis is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses caused by a virus, bacteria, or fungus. The infection can also result after an allergic reaction – when the immune system attacks the healthy body cells. This infection may be associated with both bacterial and fungal infections.

J32. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J32.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J01 sinusitis NOS (J32. 9); chronic sinusitis (J32. 0-J32. 8); acute abscess of sinus; acute empyema of sinus; acute infection of sinus; acute inflammation of sinus; acute suppuration of sinus; code (B95-B97) to identify infectious agent.
The main differential diagnoses for acute rhinosinusitis include: Viral upper respiratory tract infection - symptoms tend to improve with symptomatic treatment within 3-5 days.
It is a bacterial infection and typically occurs after a viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) (Haemophilus, Pneumococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus species and anaerobes are commonly found).
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J01.00 and a single ICD9 code, 461.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Upper respiratory tract infections (URI or URTI) are illnesses caused by an acute infection which involves the upper respiratory tract including the nose, sinuses, pharynx or larynx. This commonly includes tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, and the common cold.
J01.00 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Acute maxillary sinusitis, unspecified . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
