KA64.21

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Congenital non-falciparum malaria

Description

Congenital malaria due to Plasmodium species other than Plasmodium falciparum. For example, Plasmodium vivax infects fetuses transplacentally, causing congenital malaria that can lead to anaemia and low birth weight.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
