Y58.1: Typhoid and paratyphoid vaccine
The ICD-10 code Y58.1 refers to complications related to the vaccination against typhoid and paratyphoid diseases. Typhoid and paratyphoid are infectious diseases caused by the bacteria Salmonella enterica, and are transmitted through contaminated food or water. The diseases present with symptoms like high fever, abdominal pain, headache, and sometimes rashes or diarrhea. In some cases, these diseases may take a severe turn and cause complications in other body systems like the cardiovascular system. The vaccine for these diseases is typically safe and effective, but occasionally, some individuals may encounter complications such as allergic reactions or other side effects post-vaccination. It's important to note that these complications are not the diseases themselves, but responses to the vaccine intended to prevent these diseases. The complications observed can range from mild, such as temporary swelling or redness at the injection site, to severe, such as anaphylaxis or other systemic reactions.
