J21. 0 - Acute bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code J12. 1 for Respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
9 – Acute Bronchitis, Unspecified.
Bronchiolitis is a lung infection that's usually caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which produces swelling and mucus production in the small breathing tubes of your child's lungs. Infections are most common during the winter and typically affect children under two years of age.
Respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia J12. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

A chest cold, often called acute bronchitis, occurs when the airways of the lungs swell and produce mucus in the lungs. That's what makes you cough. Acute bronchitis can last less than 3 weeks.

The most common cause of bronchiolitis is a virus called respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Infants who become infected with RSV can develop severe symptoms that require hospitalization. Adults may also develop RSV infections, but they will rarely need to stay in the hospital.
Both can be caused by a virus. Both affect the airways in the lungs, but bronchitis affects the larger airways (the bronchi). Bronchiolitis affects the smaller airways (bronchioles). Bronchitis usually affects older children and adults, while bronchiolitis is more common in younger children.
Infants and older adults at greatest risk of severe RSV can develop pneumonia or bronchiolitis or experience a worsening of their existing heart and lung conditions and may require hospitalization.
Wheezing and rapid breathing most often improve over 2 or 3 days. Mild wheezing sounds can last up to 1 week. Coughing may last 3 weeks.
People infected with RSV are usually contagious for 3 to 8 days. However, some infants, and people with weakened immune systems, can continue to spread the virus even after they stop showing symptoms, for as long as 4 weeks.
Relieving symptoms — There is no treatment that can get rid of bronchiolitis, so treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms until the infection resolves. Treatment at home usually includes making sure the child drinks enough and using saline nose drops (or bulb suctioning for infants) to keep the nose clear.
Most RSV infections go away on their own in a week or two. There is no specific treatment for RSV infection, though researchers are working to develop vaccines and antivirals (medicines that fight viruses).
