B08.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other specified viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code B088 is used to code Foot-and-mouth disease

Foot-and-mouth disease or hoof-and-mouth disease (Aphthae epizooticae) is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including domestic and wild bovids. The virus causes a high fever for approximately two to six days, followed by blisters inside the mouth and on the feet that may rupture and cause lameness.

Specialty: Infectious Disease
