Wiki Diagnosis Question

[sbiegler]

Does anyone have a diagnosis for cryptic tonsils? I'm not sure which one I should be using. Would it be appropriate to use the dx for acute tonsillitis/chronic tonsillitis? I'm in a pickle!

Thanks,
Sarah

I'd use 474.00

Tonsils are cryptic by nature.
Is there a Pathology report available?

I use 474.8 and had no problem.
