Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP)

What ICD 9 code should I use for Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP)?

re: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP)

The code is 693.0 - dermatitis due to drug and medicine taken internally. AGEP is a reaction to a drug. Here is a link to an article with some good info on Dermatitis's due to drugs. http://health.tipsdiscover.com/cutaneous-drug-reactions-causes-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment-and-ongoing-care/



Hope this helped! I spent an hour searching for the answer because I didn't know the right code for it too. :)
