T78.0 vs T78.1

Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. T78.1 carries an Excludes1 note covering T78.0: “anaphylactic reaction or shock due to adverse food reaction (T78.0-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
