M00-M02
Infectious arthropathies
Infectious arthropathies (M00-M02) is a block within ICD-10-CM Chapter 13: Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. It holds 3 categories.
Notes
- This block comprises arthropathies due to microbiological agents. Distinction is made between the following types of etiological relationship:
- a) direct infection of joint, where organisms invade synovial tissue and microbial antigen is present in the joint;
- b) indirect infection, which may be of two types: a reactive arthropathy, where microbial infection of the body is established but neither organisms nor antigens can be identified in the joint, and a postinfective arthropathy, where microbial antigen is present but recovery of an organism is inconstant and evidence of local multiplication is lacking.
