James, a one-month-old baby, has symptoms of jaundice and the pediatrician notices that his growth is not normal. After clinical assessments, he was diagnosed with congenital viral hepatitis. Assign the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. P35.3
  2. P35.2
  3. P35.4
  4. P35.0
Explanation
Answer: A 

P35.3 is the correct code for this case because the baby has congenital viral hepatitis and this code specifies this disease. 

Option B is not correct because P35.2 is used to specify congenital herpesviral [herpes simplex] infection which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option C is not correct because P35.4 is used to specify congenital Zika virus disease which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option D is not correct because P35.0 is used to specify congenital rubella syndrome which is not the diagnosis here.
