| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

B49 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified mycosis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code B49 is used to code Fungal keratitis

A fungal keratitis is an 'inflammation of the eye's cornea' (called keratitis) that results from infection by a fungal organism. Keratomycosis is the Greek terminology equivalent of fungal keratitis - it is the fungal infection of the cornea, the anterior part of the eye which covers the pupil. Those experiencing these symptoms are typically advised to immediately visit the appropriate eyecare professional.
