This is a shortened version of the first chapter of the ICD-10: Certain infectious and parasitic diseases. It covers ICD codes A00 to B99. All versions of the ICD-10, including the most recent one (2019), can be browsed freely on the website of the World Health Organisation (WHO). The ICD-10 can also be downloaded in PDF-form.

Chapter I focuses primarily on etiology (cause), listing various pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Infections specific to a body system are found in other chapters. For example, cellulitis is found in Chapter XII: Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
