ICD Code B09

ICD code B09 is an unspecified viral infection that causes lesions on the skin and mucous membranes, but the exact virus is not identified.

1. Presence of skin lesions such as rashes, vesicles, or ulcers not attributable to a specific viral etiology

2. Mucous membrane involvement, including oral, nasal, or genital lesions

3. Clinical suspicion of a viral infection based on history and examination

4. Laboratory tests inconclusive or not performed to identify a specific virus

5. Exclusion of other non-viral causes of skin and mucous membrane lesions

6. Absence of a more specific diagnosis for the viral infection causing the lesions
