Coccidioidal Pericarditis

Chest, 1976
A 26-year-old man developed coccidioidomycosis which resulted in myocarditis associated with congestive heart failure. A pericardial effusion developed and progressed to constrictive pericarditis. A pericardiectomy was performed and revealed that the pericarditis was due to Coccidioides immitis.

Ten consecutive patients with chronic pulmonary and disseminated disease referred for chemotherapy represent the first prospective study of ocular involvement.

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 ...

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.
