FAQ
Tuberculous neuritis is a neurological condition where the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, responsible for tuberculosis, directly infects and inflames the peripheral nerves. This can lead to symptoms like pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the affected area.
ICD-10-CM code A17.83 is a billable/specific code used in medical documentation and claims for reimbursement purposes. It precisely identifies a diagnosis of tuberculous neuritis, helping ensure accurate medical record-keeping and billing for healthcare services related to this condition.
Tuberculous neuritis itself is not contagious. However, the underlying tuberculosis infection, if active and affecting the lungs (pulmonary TB), can be contagious. Tuberculous neuritis typically occurs when the infection spreads from its primary site to the nervous system.
