Tuberculosis of prostate

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

This is a bacterial infection of the prostate gland caused by tuberculosis, a serious infectious disease that typically spreads through the lungs but can affect other organs in the body. It represents an extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis affecting the male reproductive system.

Coding Tips

  • •Always verify that tuberculosis of the prostate is confirmed through culture, histology, or clinical evidence before coding; do not code based on suspicion alone
  • •This code is part of the tuberculosis chapter (A15-A19) and should be used only when TB specifically affects the prostate; ensure documentation clearly indicates extrapulmonary TB involvement
