It´s the World Health Organisation that works out the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). You can check here: http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/index.html Probably near 20.000 diagoses exisist within biomedicine. But are diseases real, are they entities or are they just constructions? Mostly they only classify or describe the consequence of pathological processes.
The World Health Organization WHO has codes for doctors to use when diagnosing them. Their total amount of codes are 14,199, but I think there are more diseases being discovered all the time, and I think there are many illnesses, especially rare or exotic ones, that the WHO has not classified yet. ICD means International Classification of Diseases. The latest book of those codes is version #10.
There are 12,420 codes in ICD-10 (14,199 with the fourth-character place of occurrence codes in Chapter XX (External Causes of Morbidity and Mortality).
