Coccidioidomycosis Masquerading as Malignancy: A Case of Mediastinal Mass and Pericardial Effusion in an Immunocompetent Jamaican Male. [PDF]
Case Rep Infect DisCoccidioidomycosis rarely presents as a lung mass, hypereosinophilia, and disseminated pericarditis with pericardial effusion. Even rarer is a case that presents with the constellation of all these findings. We present a case of coccidioidomycosis in an immunocompetent young Jamaican male with all these features, set against an interesting ...

Primary Cutaneous Coccidioidomycosis Presenting on the Leg of an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report. [PDF]
Case Rep Infect DisCoccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection that primarily manifests as an asymptomatic condition caused by inhalation of fungal spores. Less commonly, patients can develop dissemination to extrapulmonary locations such as the skin or primary cutaneous inoculation of the fungus at a site of trauma.

Coccidioidal Pericarditis [PDF]
Circulation, 1953 In endemic areas where coccidioidomycosis is encountered, pericarditis of an occult etiology warrants a careful search for coccidioidomycosis. A coccidioidin skin test is helpful. The established diagnosis, however, depends upon positive coccidioidal complement fixation and precipitin tests, or recovery of the organism from the sputum or the ...

The Known Unknowns of the Immune Response to Coccidioides
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Coccidioidomycosis, otherwise known as Valley Fever, is caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii. While most clinical cases present with self-limiting pulmonary infection, dissemination of Coccidioides spp. results in prolonged
