What is the ICD 10 code for T-cell Lymphotrophic Virus?

What is the ICD 10 code for adult T cell lymphoma/leukemia?

Adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (HTLV-1-associated) 2016 2017 2018 2019 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code. C91.5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM C91.5 became effective on October 1, 2018.

What is HTLV-1 associated adult T-cell lymphoma?

Adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (HTLV-1-associated) An aggressive (fast-growing) type of t-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma caused by the human t-cell leukemia virus type 1 (htlv-1). It is marked by bone and skin lesions, high calcium levels, and enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, and liver.

What type of virus is HTLV?

The human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 is also known by the acronym HTLV-1, or as human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1. The virus can cause a type of cancer called adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL). HTLV-1 is transmitted primarily through infected bodily fluids including blood, breast milk and semen.

What does HTLV positive mean?

A positive HTLV-I/II molecular test indicates that the person tested has an HTLV-I or HTLV-II infection. If the molecular result is negative, then the person is less likely to be infected, but it cannot be ruled out as the amount of virus in the blood may have been too low to detect at the time of the test.

What is HTLV blood?

HTLV-1 is a virus that infects T-cells, a type of white blood cell that forms part of the immune system. HTLV is also known as human T-cell lymphotropic virus. HTLV-1 is one of the same type of viruses as HIV-1 and HIV-2 that cause AIDS. HTLV-1 does not cause AIDS, but it is spread in the same way.

Is HTLV an Oncovirus?

Human T lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is a well-known human oncovirus, associated with two life-threatening diseases, adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). The study of this oncogenic virus is significant from two different aspects.

What is the difference between HTLV-1 and 2?

HTLV-1 is the causal agent of adult T-cell leukemia and a progressive neurological disorder called HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (12, 34, 54). In contrast, HTLV-2 is essentially nonpathogenic, although a few cases of neurological disease in HTLV-2-infected individuals have been reported.

What are HTLV-1 & 2 antibodies?

Infections with HTLV-I and HTLV-II are most easily detected serologically. The presence of antibodies to HTLV-I or HTLV-II indicates that a person is infected with the virus. In November 1988, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that blood donation centers screen the U.S. blood supply for HTLV-I (3).

Is HTLV an autoimmune disease?

The development of HTLV-1-driven autoimmunity is hypothesized to rely on molecular mimicry, because virus-like particles can trigger an inflammatory response. However, HTLV-1 modifies the behavior of CD4+ T cells on infection and alters their cytokine production.

What does HTLV-1 & 2 test for?

The HTLV-1/HTLV-2 Antibodies Blood Test is used to screen patients for infection with the human T-lymphotropic virus. Preparation: No special preparation required. Test Results: 5-6 days. May take longer based on weather, holiday or lab delays.

What are the symptoms of HTLV-2?

HTLV-2-associated neurological symptoms include leg weakness, reflex abnormalities, sensory abnormalities, urinary tract abnormalities, sphincter disturbance, spastic paraparesis, and ataxia spastic.

How many types of HTLV are there?

HTLV-I-induced ATL has four different subtypes: acute, lymphomatous, chronic and smoldering.

How do you get HTLV virus?

Although this virus generally causes no symptoms, some affected people may later develop adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) or other medical conditions. HTLV-1 is spread by blood transfusions, sexual contact and sharing needles.

What are the symptoms of HTLV-1?

Among these, HTLV-1 associated myelopathy, also called tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), affects the nervous system. It causes sensorimotor losses, spasticity, muscle weakness, voiding and sexual dysfunction, pain, and balance disorders.

What is the code for a primary malignant neoplasm?

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

Where is T cell lymphoma endemic?

It is endemic in japan, the caribbean basin, southeastern United States, hawaii, and parts of central and south america and sub-saharan africa. An aggressive (fast-growing) type of t-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma caused by the human t-cell leukemia virus type 1 (htlv-1).

What is lymphoid leukemia?

Lymphoid leukemia. Clinical Information. A peripheral (mature) t-cell neoplasm caused by the human t-cell leukemia virus type 1 (htlv-1). Adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma is endemic in several regions of the world, in particular japan, the caribbean, and parts of central africa. (who, 2001)
