Ecology of Coccidioides immitis
Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1970Through ecological and epidemiological studies, the distribution ofCoccidioides immitis has been shown to be restricted to the Americas. The saprophytic nature of the organism and its tolerance for high soil salinity in climates of high temperature and low rainfall is known. The distribution ofC.

Collagenolytic activity of Coccidioides immitis
Infection and Immunity, 1986Coccidioides immitis appears to be unable to digest particulate collagen when cultured on collagen-containing semisolid culture media. However, all C. immitis strains solubilized collagen when the fungus was grown in liquid suspension cultures. Moreover, sterile culture filtrates were collagenolytic in collagen-buffer-agar plate assays.

Coccidioides immitis Infections in Bones and Joints
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Coccidioides immitis infections of bones and joints pose difficult problems in diagnosis and treatment. To evaluate further the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, a retrospective review was conducted of 24 patients with 44 separate skeletal lesions of C. immitis infection, as determined by positive culture.

Subcutaneous Abscess Due to Coccidioides immitis
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1972A 10-year-old black boy, a resident of East St. Louis, Ill, developed a solitary coccidioidal subcutaneous abscess almost two years after any known exposure to Coccidioides immitis. Clinical presentation and results of serologic determinations indicated that this lesion was the result of dissemination from a previous focus of infection rather than from

Conidia of Coccidioides immitis
1991Airborne fungal spores (sporangiospores, ascospores, basidiospores, and conidia) are ubiquitous (Gregory, 1973; Cole and Samson, 1984) and a source of constant aggravation to individuals suffering from inhalant allergy (Hoffman, 1984). Mold components of the air spora also represent a threat to immunocompromised patients, particularly those undergoing ...

Coccidioides immitis in the gallbladder and biliary tree
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2001Intraabdominal coccidioidomycosis is a very rare entity and usually responds to medical therapy. Operative intervention is reserved for diagnosis or drainage of localized collections. With biliary coccidioidomycosis, medical treatment appears to be ineffective, and biliary tract drainage is necessary for optimal management. A case of coccidioidomycosis

Pulmonary Mycetoma due to Coccidioides immitis
Chest, 1977Pulmonary mycetoma due to Coccidioides immitis has been reported on three occasions. The present case is the fourth such report occurring in a patient with widely disseminated disease. Spherules and hyphae were found in the specimen. While the active pulmonary and extra-pulmonary lesions responded well to therapy with amphotericin B, resection was ...

Granulomatous Peritonitis Due to Coccidioides immitis
Archives of Surgery, 1974Seven patients had granulomatous peritonitis due to Coccidioides immitis . Symptoms varied from painless abdominal distension to generalized abdominal tenderness with signs of peritoneal irritation, fever, anorexia, and vomiting. The diagnoses were made incidentally during the following operations: herniorrhaphy (one), abdominal paracentesis (one ...
