FAQ

ICD-10-CM code A07.8 signifies "Other specified protozoal intestinal diseases." This code is used for various parasitic infections affecting the intestines that are caused by protozoa, but are not covered by more specific codes.

This code is applicable to conditions such as intestinal microsporidiosis, intestinal trichomoniasis, sarcocystosis, and sarcosporidiosis. These are infections caused by different types of protozoal parasites affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
