Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified
ICD-10 J82 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified.
Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified (J82) refers to a group of conditions characterized by an elevated number of eosinophils in the pulmonary tissue, which can lead to respiratory symptoms and complications. This category encompasses various forms of pulmonary eosinophilia that do not fit into more specific classifications, such as those associated with known causes like infections, allergic reactions, or drug reactions. Clinically, pulmonary eosinophilia can manifest as cough, dyspnea, and wheezing, and may be associated with systemic conditions or idiopathic origins. Diagnosis often requires a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and sometimes lung biopsy to confirm eosinophilic infiltration in the lungs.

J82 includes various forms of pulmonary eosinophilia that are not classified elsewhere, such as idiopathic eosinophilic pneumonia and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, among others.
J82 codes should be used when a patient presents with respiratory symptoms and eosinophilia that cannot be attributed to a more specific diagnosis or underlying condition.
Documentation should include clinical findings, laboratory results indicating eosinophilia, imaging studies, and any relevant patient history that supports the diagnosis of pulmonary eosinophilia.
