Lymphocytosis (lim-foe-sie-TOE-sis), or a high lymphocyte count, is an increase in white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes help fight off diseases, so it's normal to see a temporary increase after an infection.
ICD-10-CM Code for Lymphocytopenia D72. 810.

Lymphocytosis often results from your immune system fighting off an infection or other disease. White blood cells called lymphocytes increase with these conditions. Lymphocytosis isn't preventable, but it can be treated by addressing what's causing your temporary high lymphocyte count.
Neutrophils make up 55 to 70 percent of your total WBC count. Because of this, leukopenia is often caused by a decrease in neutrophils. In fact, some people use the terms “leukopenia” and “neutropenia” interchangeably. Another common type of leukopenia is lymphocytopenia, which is when you have too few lymphocytes.
Atypical lymphocytes are lymphocytes that have been activated to respond to a viral infection (occasionally a bacterial or parasitic infection).

288.60ICD-9 code 288.60 for Leukocytosis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -DISEASES OF THE BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS (280-289).

Diagnosis of Lymphocytosis Lymphocytosis is diagnosed by CBC (Complete Blood Count) blood test. CBC helps us determine the number of white blood cells in the blood and the lymphocytes present in the white blood cells.. Other procedures include bone marrow biopsy, which helps find the root cause of lymphocytosis.
Common causes of reactive lymphocytosis: infections (EBV, CMV, pertussis, cat-scratch disease, HIV, etc.), drug reactions (DRESS), stress, and asplenia. Common causes of lymphocytosis secondary to monoclonal expansion: CLL/SLL, MBL (ALC under 5000 cells/microL), NHL (MZL, FL, MCL), T-LGL, HCL, Scezary syndrome.
Some causes of lymphocytosis include:Hepatitis.HIV and AIDS.Syphilis.Tuberculosis.An underactive thyroid ( hypothyroidism)Mononucleosis.Whooping cough.Acute lymphocytic leukemia.More items...•
Lymphocytosis, or a high lymphocyte count, is common if you've had an infection. High lymphocyte levels that persist may point to a more serious illness or disease, such as: viral infections, including measles, mumps, and mononucleosis. adenovirus.
Most patients experience lymphocytosis, representing lymphocyte egress from nodal compartments. This resolves within 8 months in the majority of patients, but a subgroup has lymphocytosis lasting >12 months.
Mild lymphocytosis (< 10 x 10(9)/L) is a common finding in routine blood tests. When it persists, it raises the question of whether this disorder is an early manifestation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). If it is accompanied by bone marrow infiltration, it can be safely considered as a sign of CLL.
D72.820 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of lymphocytosis (symptomatic). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Leukocytosis is white blood cells (the leukocyte count) above the normal range in the blood. It is frequently a sign of an inflammatory response, most commonly the result of infection, but may also occur following certain parasitic infections or bone tumors.
