  • A08.0 Rotaviral enteritis
  • A08.1 Acute gastroenteropathy due to Norwalk agent and other small round viruses (also a header)
  • A08.2 Adenoviral enteritis
  • A08.3 Other viral enteritis (also a header)
  • A08.4 Viral intestinal infection, unspecified
  • A08.8 Other specified intestinal infections
