An ear infection (sometimes called acute otitis media) is an infection of the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Children are more likely than adults to get ear infections.
ICD-10-CM: H66. 001 (acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of eardrum, right ear) CPT: 99203.
Otitis media is diagnosed clinically via objective findings on physical exam (otoscopy) combined with the patient's history and presenting signs and symptoms. Several diagnostic tools are available such as a pneumatic otoscope, tympanometry, and acoustic reflectometry to aid in the diagnosis of otitis media.
There are 2 main types of otitis media: acute otitis media with effusion, and chronic otitis media with effusion. Effusion (ef FYOO zhun) means fluid in the middle ear space. Acute otitis media is an infection of the middle ear that starts suddenly with fever, pain and irritability.
The position of the tympanic membrane is a key for differentiating acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion. In acute otitis media, the tympanic membrane is usually bulging. In otitis media with effusion, it is typically retracted or in the neutral position.
Codes in the ICD-10-CM code set can have anywhere from three to seven characters. The more characters there are, the more specific the diagnosis. The first character is always alpha (i.e., a letter), but characters two through seven can be either alpha or numeric.
Definitions: Acute febrile illness was defined as a patient with fever of 38°C or higher at presentation to ED or history of fever that persisted for 2–7 days with no localizing source.
