ICD-10 code A09 for Infectious gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
A life-threatening Salmonella infection that has spread to the bloodstream. Salmonella septicemia can be caused by any of the Salmonella bacteria, which are found in contaminated food and water. The infection is systemic and affects virtually every organ system.
When Salmonella bacteria are ingested, they pass through a person's stomach and colonize the small and large intestine. There, the bacteria invade the intestinal mucosa and proliferate. The bacteria can invade the lymphoid tissues of the gastrointestinal tract and spread to the bloodstream.

Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is illness caused by eating contaminated food.
It is argued that the main difference is that food poisoning is an illness caused by infected (contaminated) food whereas gastroenteritis is caused by a viral/bacterial infection.

ICD-9-CM 005.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 005.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Ptomaine (pois oning) (see also Poisoning, food) 005.9
003.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of salmonella gastroenteritis. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Symptoms usually last 4-7 days. Your health care provider diagnoses the infection with a stool test. Most people get better without treatment. Infection can be more serious in the elderly, infants, and people with chronic health problems. If Salmonella gets into the bloodstream, it can be serious. The usual treatment is antibiotics.
Salmonella is the name of a group of bacteria. In the United States, it is a common cause of foodborne illness. Salmonella occurs in raw poultry, eggs, beef, and sometimes on unwashed fruit and vegetables. You also can get infected after handling pets, especially reptiles like snakes, turtles, and lizards.

Each year, 48 million people in the U.S. get sick from contaminated food. Common culprits include bacteria, parasites and viruses. Symptoms range from mild to serious. They include
Have you ever had the "stomach flu?" What you probably had was gastroenteritis - not a type of flu at all. Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the lining of the intestines caused by a virus, bacteria or parasites. Viral gastroenteritis is the second most common illness in the U.S. The cause is often a norovirus infection. It spreads through contaminated food or water, and contact with an infected person. The best prevention is frequent hand washing.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
Enteritis (entero- + -itis) is inflammation of the small intestine. It is most commonly caused by food or drink contaminated with pathogenic microbes. Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, dehydration, and fever. Inflammation of related organs of the gastrointestinal system are:
Intestinal infectious diseases may be caused by a microorganism itself, or by toxins produced by the microorganism. Generally, enteritis caused by the microorganism itself is classified as a foodborne infection, while enteritis caused by the toxin produced by the microorganism is classified as foodborne intoxication. One aspect that makes classification of intestinal infections difficult is that some enteric pathogens cause both types of enteritis; that is, the bacteria itself may cause enteritis, yet toxins produced by the same bacteria may exacerbate the condition.
Foodborne illnesses commonly are referred to as food poisoning. The term “food poisoning” generally refers to any illness resulting from a foodborne pathogen that causes intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The term also groups illnesses by symptoms rather than by the pathogen that causes the illness (such as a toxin, bacterium, virus or parasite). While laypeople still refer to illnesses caused by food as food poisoning, public health departments recognize and classify food poisoning as occurring either due to an infection (bacterium, virus, parasite or other microorganism) or due to a toxin. The terms used are “foodborne infection” and “foodborne intoxication.”
Foodborne intoxications classified in Chapter 1 – Infectious and Parasitic Diseases result from toxins in bacteria or other organisms that are growing on food.

A02.9 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Salmonella infection, unspecified . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
