Severe Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis Treated With Systemic Corticosteroids in an Adolescent Child

Case Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Coccidioidomycosis (CM) is an emerging public health challenge due to an increasing number of cases in the U.S. Diagnosis may be challenging because of its nonspecific presentation, which may lead to treatment delays. In addition, the optimal management of severe pulmonary CM remains unclear.

Coccidioides immitis as a Select Agent of bioterrorism [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2001
1. SUMMARY Coccidioides immitis is the most virulent of the primary fungal pathogens of humans and other animals. As such, it is the only fungal aetiological agent designated as Biosafety Level 3 in Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, 3rd edn (Department of Health and Human Services 1993; http://www.nih.gov/od/ors/ds/pubs/bmbl ...

Breakthrough Tracheobronchial Aspergillosis Caused by Aspergillus calidoustus and Aspergillus niger in a Lung Transplant Recipient Despite Combined Antifungal Prophylaxis

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus calidoustus are relatively uncommon pathogens that could cause invasive disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. We present the case of a 61‐year‐old male with a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who was admitted to our hospital for a unilateral lung transplant that was performed without complications;

Effects of Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature on Coccidioidomycosis

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever, VF) is a climate‐sensitive infectious disease caused by inhaling soil‐dwelling fungus Coccidioides, mostly reported in southwestern USA. Although soil moisture (SM) and soil temperature (ST) are known to shape the fungal lifecycle, their effects on coccidioidomycosis remain understudied.

Walsh & Hoyt: Coccidioides Immitis (Coccidioidomycosis)

, 2005
This organism initially was thought to be a protozoan, and its name derives from the Greek Coccidioides, meaning ""resembling the protozoan Coccidia."" The term immitis, from the Latin, meaning ""not mild,"" refers to the potentially severe nature of the

Valley Fever: Finding New Places for an Old Disease: Coccidioides immitis Found in Washington State Soil Associated With Recent Human Infection [PDF]

, 2015
We used real-time polymerase chain reaction and culture to demonstrate persistent colonization of soils by Coccidioides immitis, an agent of valley fever, in Washington State linked to recent human infections and located outside the endemic range.

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, Page 781-889, December 2025.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.
