A98. 4 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are illnesses caused by several types of viruses. Some of these viruses cause mild illness. Many others lead to life-threatening diseases with no known cures. One of the best known of this group is the Ebola virus.
Ebola's most notorious symptom may be hemorrhagic fever, but the virus is actually one of many that can cause the hallmark bleeding from the nose, mouth, ears and other places.
ICD-10 code B34. 9 for Viral infection, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
Ebola virus can be detected in blood after onset of symptoms. It may take up to three days after symptoms start for the virus to reach detectable levels. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most commonly used diagnostic methods because of its ability to detect low levels of Ebola virus.
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a group of diseases that are caused by several distinct families of viruses. The term “viral hemorrhagic fever” refers to a condition that affects many organ systems of the body, damages the overall cardiovascular system, and reduces the body's ability to function on its own.
The causative agents of Ebola and Marburg hemorrhagic fevers are filoviruses, belonging to the Filoviridae. These viruses are associated with fruit bats, which may be their natural animal reservoirs.
About Ebola Virus Disease Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae , genus Ebolavirus.
Ebola virus infections are characterised by immune suppression and a systemic inflammatory response that causes impairment of the vascular, coagulation, and immune systems, leading to multiorgan failure and shock, and thus, in some ways, resembling septic shock.

What is Systemic Viral Illness? Fever that is caused by a virus is commonly termed Systemic Viral Illness or Influenza or Flu. Most commonly these viruses are Influenza A or Influenza B. The infection spreads fast via airborne droplets by coughing or sneezing and by direct contact.
