A95.1

What This Code Means

Urban yellow fever is a serious viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes in city environments, causing fever, jaundice, and potentially life-threatening complications. This form of the disease spreads more easily in populated areas where infected mosquitoes have contact with many people.

Coding Tips

• •Verify the documentation specifies 'urban' yellow fever rather than jungle or sylvatic yellow fever, as this distinction affects the epidemiological classification and public health reporting
• •Ensure the yellow fever diagnosis is confirmed through clinical presentation and/or laboratory testing; do not code suspected or probable cases without physician confirmation
