Leishmaniasis
Definition of Leishmaniasis: Leishmaniasis is due to infection by vector-borne protozoa from the genus Leishmania. These protozoa exist as obligate intracellular parasites in human and mammalian hosts and are transmitted form host to host by certain species of sandfly. Depending on the Leishmania species involved, the resultant disease picture may range from a localised cutaneous ulcer through extensive mucocutaneous destruction to severe systemic disease.
ICD 11 Code For Leishmaniasis
1F54 Leishmaniasis
1F54.0 Visceral leishmaniasis
Definition of Visceral leishmaniasis: A disease caused by an infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania. This disease is characterised by biphasic fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, wasting, darkening of the skin, or may be asymptomatic. Transmission is through the bite of an infected female phlebotomine sandfly. Confirmation is by identification of Leishmania from a tissue or blood sample, or detection of antibodies against Leishmania.
Inclusions:
- Kala-azar
1F54.1 Cutaneous leishmaniasis
Definition of Cutaneous leishmaniasis: Cutaneous leishmaniasis results from bites by sandflies infected by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Phlebotomus is the principal vector in the Old World (Mediterranean, North Africa, Ethiopia and Asia), where L. major, L. tropica, L. aethiopica and L. donovani infantum predominate. Other sandflies are responsible for transmitting the New World species, L. mexicana and L. brasiliensis. The commonest presentation is with one or more crusted nodules or ulcers on exposed sites which gradually heal with scarring. Mexican and Ethiopian forms have a tendency to cause diffuse infiltration of the skin; South American forms frequently progress to mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.

- Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (1F54.0)
1F54.2 Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
Definition of Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis: Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is a secondary infection of nasal and oral mucosae, predominantly by Leishmania braziliensis. It usually first manifests within two years of initial cutaneous infection but often after the latter has healed. It results from lymphatic or haematogenous spread of infection and can cause severe local tissue destruction.
Inclusions:
- Leishmania braziliensis infection
1F54.Z Leishmaniasis unspecified
Naegleriasis
Definition of Naegleriasis: Any condition caused by an infection with the protozoan parasite Naegleria.
ICD 11 Code For Naegleriasis
1F55 Naegleriasis
Coded Elsewhere:
- Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (1D00.2)
Rhinosporidiosis
Definition of Rhinosporidiosis: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic, usually painless localised infection of the mucous membranes. Formerly believed to be a fungus, the causative agent, Rhinosporidium seeberi, has also never been cultured. With 18S r DNA sequencing, this organism has been shown to be a protistan parasite. Rhinosporidiosis occurs worldwide, and the greatest numbers of cases are found in southern India and Sri Lanka.
ICD 11 Code For Rhinosporidiosis
1F56 Rhinosporidiosis
Toxoplasmosis
Definition of Toxoplasmosis: A disease caused by an infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This disease is characterised by fever, lymphadenitis, sore throat, or rash. Transmission is by direct ingestion of contaminated food, indirectly by food or water contaminated with infected cat faeces, or vertical transmission. Confirmation is by detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, or identification of Toxoplasma gondii in tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or other body fluids.
ICD 11 Code For Toxoplasmosis
1F57 Toxoplasmosis
Coded Elsewhere:
- Congenital toxoplasmosis (KA64.0)
1F57.0 Hepatitis due to Toxoplasma gondii
Definition of Hepatitis due to Toxoplasma gondii: A disease of the liver, caused by an infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This disease is characterised by jaundice. Transmission is by haematogenous spread to the liver after direct ingestion of contaminated food, or indirect transmission by consumption of food or water contaminated with infected cat faeces. Confirmation is by detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in a blood sample or identification of Toxoplasma gondii in hepatic tissue.
1F57.1 Meningoencephalitis due to Toxoplasma gondii
Definition of Meningoencephalitis due to Toxoplasma gondii: A disease of the meninges and brain, caused by an infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This disease is characterised by seizures, neck pain, neurological deficits, or alterations in behaviour, cognition, or consciousness. Transmission is by haematogenous spread to the meninges and brain after direct ingestion of contaminated food, or indirect transmission by consumption of food or water contaminated with infected cat faeces. Confirmation is by detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in cerebrospinal fluid or identification of Toxoplasma gondii in cerebrospinal fluid, and advanced imaging of the nervous system.
Inclusions:
- Toxoplasma meningoencephalitis
1F57.2 Pulmonary toxoplasmosis due to Toxoplasma gondii
Definition of Pulmonary toxoplasmosis due to Toxoplasma gondii: In immunodeficient patients, toxoplasmosis most often occurs in persons with defects in T cell–mediated immunity such as those receiving corticosteroids, anti–tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapies, or cytotoxic drugs and those with hematologic malignancies, organ transplants, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Pulmonary toxoplasmosis in the immunodeficient patient may appear in the form of interstitial pneumonitis, necrotizing pneumonitis, consolidation, pleural effusion, or empyema, or all of these.[1]
AIDS patients with Toxoplasma pneumonia present with cough, dyspnoea, and fever. As toxoplasmosis is generally seen only in advanced HIV infection with CD4 counts below 100, the majority of AIDS patients who develop toxoplasma pneumonia already have had previous HIV-associated opportunistic infections. In solid organ transplant patients, this is most commonly due to transplantation of a toxoplasma-seropositive lung or heart into a seronegative recipient, resulting in primary pulmonary disease. In bone marrow transplant patients, pulmonary toxoplasmosis occurs in 0.28% to 0.45% of patients. Unlike solid organ transplant patients, most of these patients have reactivation, not primary disease.[2]

1F57.3 Eye disease due to Toxoplasma gondii
Definition of Eye disease due to Toxoplasma gondii: Chorioretinitis or ocular toxoplasmosis is a relatively common manifestation of T. gondii infection. Ocular toxoplasmosis occurs when cysts deposited in or near the retina become active, producing tachyzoites. Focal necrotizing retinitis is the characteristic lesion, but retinal scars from prior reactivation are typically present.
