  • Billable Thru Sept 30/2015
  • Non-Billable On/After Oct 1/2015

  • ICD-9-CM 288.2 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 288.2 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).

Clinical Information
  • A rare autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disorder characterized by abnormal intracellular protein transport. Chediak-higashi syndrome (chs) is characterized by immune deficiency; partial oculocutaneous albinism; a bleeding disorder due to deficient platelet dense bodies; neutropenia; neutrophils with impaired chemotaxis and bactericidal activity; recurrent infection; and abnormal natural killer (nk) cell function. Chs may be associated with hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, anemia, thrombocytopenia, roentgenologic changes in bones, lungs and heart, and skin and psychomotor abnormalities; it is often fatal in childhood as a result of infection or an accelerated lymphoma-like phase. Chs occurs in mink, cattle, and mice, as well as man
  • Form of phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction characterized by unusual oculocutaneous albinism, high incidence of lymphoreticular neoplasms, and recurrent pyogenic infections; in many cell types, abnormal lysosomes are present leading to defective pigment distribution and abnormal neutrophil functions; transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance and a similar disorder occurs in the beige mouse, the aleutian mink, and albino hereford cattle
