Influenza due to other identified influenza virus with myocarditis
ICD-10 J10.82 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of influenza due to other identified influenza virus with myocarditis.
J10.82 refers to influenza caused by other identified influenza viruses, specifically when it is complicated by myocarditis. Clinically, patients may present with typical influenza symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. However, the presence of myocarditis can lead to additional symptoms including chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath due to inflammation of the heart muscle. The respiratory system is primarily affected by the influenza virus, which can lead to secondary complications like pneumonia, while myocarditis introduces cardiovascular concerns. Disease progression can vary; some patients may recover fully from influenza while others may develop severe complications, particularly if they have underlying health conditions. Diagnostic considerations include laboratory tests to confirm the influenza virus type, echocardiograms, and cardiac biomarkers to assess myocardial inflammation. Early recognition and management are crucial to prevent severe outcomes.

J10.82 covers cases of influenza due to other identified influenza viruses that are complicated by myocarditis. This includes patients who present with influenza symptoms and subsequently develop myocarditis as a complication.
J10.82 should be used when a patient has confirmed influenza due to other identified viruses and exhibits signs or symptoms of myocarditis. If myocarditis is not present, other codes such as J10.1 may be more appropriate.
Documentation should include confirmation of influenza through laboratory testing, clinical symptoms consistent with myocarditis, and any diagnostic imaging or lab results that support the diagnosis of myocarditis.
