ICD-10 Code B37.82 | Candidal enteritis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and fever. Patients may also report a history of recent antibiotic use or immunosuppression.

Treatment typically involves antifungal medications such as fluconazole, along with supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent dehydration.

This code should be used when documenting cases of enteritis caused by Candida species, particularly in patients with risk factors like immunosuppression or recent antibiotic therapy.

Candidal enteritis is not considered contagious; it typically occurs in individuals with compromised immune systems or other underlying health conditions.
