ICD-10 code J13 for Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is an encapsulated Gram-positive bacterium that is the major cause of bacteremia and upper respiratory infections (eg, otitis media and sinusitis) in children and a common cause of serious invasive infections.
481 - Pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia] | ICD-10-CM.
Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). People with pneumococcal disease can spread the bacteria to others when they cough or sneeze. Symptoms of pneumococcal infection depend on the part of the body affected.
The final diagnosis is sepsis due to pneumonia. In this case, since the sepsis was present on admission and due to the underlying infection of pneumonia, the coder would sequence sepsis (A41. 9-Sepsis unspecified organism) as the PDX and pneumonia (J18. 9-Pneumonia, unspecified organism) as a SDX code.
The species S. pneumoniae belongs to the S. mitis group streptococci, which are part of the so-called viridans streptococci group, which also includes the S. salivarius, S.

PPSV23 is composed of purified preparations of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide from 23 types of pneumococci. The serotypes are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F, and 33F. PPSV23 is administered by either intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the most commonly identified bacterial cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Mortality associated with pneumococcal pneumonia in hospitalized patients is high, ranging from 12 to 30 percent.
Pneumococcal [noo-muh-KOK-uhl] disease is a name for any infection caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus. Pneumococcal infections can range from ear and sinus infections to pneumonia and bloodstream infections.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is spread from person to person by the inhalation of respiratory droplets (e.g. coughing, sneezing) from an infected person. It is not known why certain individuals develop invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease while others do not.
Doctors use antibiotics to treat pneumococcal disease. However, some pneumococcal bacteria have become resistant to certain antibiotics used to treat these infections. Available data show that pneumococcal bacteria are resistant to one or more antibiotics in 3 out of every 10 cases.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. It can occur spontaneously, during certain tissue infections, with use of indwelling genitourinary or IV catheters, or after dental, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, wound-care, or other procedures.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) can cause a range of different illnesses including sinusitis, otitis media, pneumonia, bacteraemia, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis and meningitis. Vaccines are available that help prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (such as bacteraemia and meningitis).
