Coccidioidal Osteomyelitis of the Patella

Orthopedics, 2010
Known as “Valley Fever,” coccidiomycosis is a soil-borne, fungal infection predominately found in endemic regions of the southwestern United States and Latin America. While most infected individuals are asymptomatic, <1% of patients have hematogenous seeding of bone, skin, and soft tissue.

Pulmonary coccidioidal pseudomycetoma

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1992
Coccidiomycosis is rarely associated with a pulmonary mycetoma. We report a patient with progressive cavitary coccidiomycosis, whose initial radiographic and clinical appearance simulated a mycetoma. Examination of the surgically resected lung showed necrotizing Coccidioides immitis granulomas with spherules and arthroconidialike structures, but no ...

Endogenous Coccidioidal Endophthalmitis

Ophthalmology, 1980
Coccidioidomycosis is generally a self-limited respiratory illness. The literature indicates ocular involvement is rare, usually confined to the anterior segment and adnexa. Ten consecutive patients with chronic pulmonary and disseminated disease referred for chemotherapy represent the first prospective study of ocular involvement.

Coccidioidal Meningitis

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007
Abstract:  Coccidioidal meningitis affects between 200 to 300 persons annually within the endemic area of the United States, with much larger numbers expected in epidemic years. Because this represents a chronic disease for survivors, several thousand patients may be under treatment at any given time.

Metastatic Coccidioidal Endophthalmitis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1978
A severe granulomatous iridocyclitis developed in association with a cavitary pulmonary lesion in a 29-year-old man. The initial diagnosis and treatment was for pulmonary tuberculosis with tuberculous uveitis. Although the pulmonary lesion improved with antituberculous therapy, the condition of the eye deteriorated. An anterior-chamber tap was positive

Coccidioidal pulmonary cavitation

The American Journal of Medicine, 1958
Abstract 1.1. Seventy-seven cases of coccidioidal pulmonary cavitation have been summarized. 2.2. Cavitation is found in about 1 to 3 per cent of hospitalized patients with coccidioidomycosis, or about 0.1 per cent of all patients with this disease. 3.3.

Coccidioidal Infection of the Thyroid

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1998
Infection of the thyroid gland with Coccidioides immitis, the causative agent of coccidioidomycosis, is very rarely recognized antemortem. We report 2 recent cases, one immunosuppressed by corticosteroid treatment of sarcoidosis and the other without any recognized impairment of host defenses.

Pulmonary Coccidioidal Mycetoma

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1984
Cavitary pulmonary disease due to coccidioidomycosis is common; however, development of both the underlying cavity and the fungus ball due to Coccidioides immitis is rare and has been reported on only five occasions. We report a case of coccidioidal mycetoma formation as a late sequelae of primary pulmonary coccidioidal pneumonia.
