[soprano]

Does anyone know the ICD 9 for this? I can't find it.

 

[Mojo]

It is a mycoplasmal organism. Look at 041.81.

Uraplasma is Mycoplasma

I looked up uraplasma in Taber's then looked up mycoplasma with Supercoder.

Ureaplasma is: A mycoplasma that is usually sexually transmitted.
It may cause inflammation of the reproductive or urinary tracts in males and females. It has been implicated in a wide variety of infections in babies with low birth weight

Look up mycoplasma:
030-041:- OTHER BACTERIAL DISEASES
041.81 - Other specified bacterial infections in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site mycoplasma
