COMMON ICD-9 CODES (by description) This listing contains codes and descriptions of which we are reasonably certain. It may be used for coding. However, if the condition you are coding does not conform exactly to the description on this list, please look it up in the ICD-9 manual, since many conditions which appear similar actually have different codes. The codes which are italicized are to be used when reporting a cause of death (Section E). When reporting an AIDS diagnosis (Section C), please use the MACS coding list for CDC-defined AIDS diagnoses. When reporting a malignancy (Section F), please use the ICD-0-3 codes. As you find additional codes of which you are fairly certain, please inform us so that they may be added to this list. 3.10 Septicemia salmonella 4.90 Shigellosis, unspecified 6.30 Hepatic amebiasis 6.90 Amebiasis NOS 7.20 Coccidiosis 7.80 Protozoal intestinal disease, other specified 7.90 Intestinal microsporidium NOS 8.00 Intestinal infection [E.
