Coccidioidomycosis Masquerading as Malignancy: A Case of Mediastinal Mass and Pericardial Effusion in an Immunocompetent Jamaican Male

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Coccidioidomycosis 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 ...

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.
