KC24

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Neonatal nutritional disorders affecting the skin

Description

A range of nutritional disorders presenting in the neonatal period with skin manifestations. They may result from inadequate maternal nutrition or from problems with neonatal absorption of minerals such as zinc.

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.
