ICD-10 Code B25.2 | Cytomegaloviral pancreatitis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Patients may also experience elevated pancreatic enzymes and signs of systemic infection.

Diagnosis is typically made through clinical evaluation, laboratory tests showing elevated amylase and lipase, and imaging studies such as CT scans to assess pancreatic inflammation.

Treatment often involves antiviral therapy with ganciclovir, supportive care including IV fluids, and nutritional management. Hospitalization may be required for severe cases.

Cytomegaloviral pancreatitis itself is not contagious; however, the underlying CMV infection can be transmitted through bodily fluids, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
