    Extractions: Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by inhaling the microscopic spores of the fungus Coccidioides immitis . Spores are the tiny, thick-walled structures that fungi use to reproduce. Coccidioidomycosis exists in three forms. The acute form produces flu-like symptoms. The chronic form can develop as many as 20 years after initial infection and, in the lungs, can produce inflamed, injured areas that can fill with pus (abscesses). Disseminated coccidioidomycosis describes the type of coccidioidomycosis that spreads throughout the body affecting many organ systems and is often fatal. Description Coccidioidomycosis is an airborne infection. The fungus that causes the disease is found in the dry desert soil of the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. Coccidioidomycosis is sometimes called San Joaquin fever, valley fever, or desert fever because of its prevalence in the farming valleys of California. Although commonly acquired, overt coccidioidomycosis is a rare disease. Chronic infections occur in only 1 out of every 100,000 people. Although anyone can get coccidioidomycosis, farm laborers, construction workers, and archaeologists who work where it is dusty are at greater risk to become infected. People of any age can get coccidioidomycosis, but the disease most commonly occurs in the 25-55 age group. In its acute form, coccidioidomycosis infects men and women equally.

Other characters Coccidioidomycosis, fungus infection caused by the fungus Coccidioides immitis . This disease is generally found in the south-western United States as well as Mexico and some Central and South American countries. The fungus is acquired through inhalation after being stirred up in its natural soil environment. While many patients who come into contact with the fungus will acquire the infection, only a small percentage will exhibit long-lasting illness or dissemination. Primary coccidioidomycosis develops as a pneumonia with radiographic findings of homogeneous opacification, at times simulating ordinary bacterial infection. Cavitation, ipsilateral adenopathy ( Fig.1 ) and pleural effusion may be seen in approximately 20% of patients. Clinically patients present with fever and cough occasionally accompanied by an erythematous rash. In most patients the disease spontaneously resolves without chest film residual abnormalities although occasionally a calcified lymph node or calcified lung nodule is identified. Another form of primary coccidioidomycosis may be seen in asymptomatic individuals who present with chest films demonstrating multiple nodules measuring approximately 0.5 to several cm in diameter typically located in the upper lobes. They may be well defined or poorly defined and cavitation may ultimately result in thin walls. Chronic coccidioidomycosis may resemble

Other characters Coccidioidomycosis, a fungal disease caused by inhalation of the organism Coccidioides immitis , which is endemic in certain regions of North (southwest United States, Mexico) and South America. The organisms lodge in the lungs and infection may spread to the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, skin, kidney, meninges, pericardium and bones. In some cases musculoskeletal involvement may occur, usually as an acute, self-limited arthritis termed "desert rheumatism." Only a small percentage of patients develop granulomatous lesions in the bones and the joints. The spine, ribs and pelvis are the sites involved most frequently. Radiographically, osseous disease is characterized by multiple lesions in the metaphyses of long tubular bones and in bony prominences (patella, tibial tuberosity, calcaneus, ulnar olecranon) ( Fig.1 ). Frequently the patient also has lytic foci of the spongiosa and periostitis. Spinal involvement affects one or more vertebral bodies; paraspinal masses and contiguous rib changes are often seen. Prominent extrapleural masses may occur in association with rib lesions. Joint abnormalities are most frequent in the ankle and knee and usually result from extension of an osteomyelitic focus. The lesions are characterized by osteoporosis, effusion, joint space narrowing and bone destruction.

    Extractions: COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS Pathogen: Coccidioides is a fungus that resides in the soil and is endemic to the southwestern US, Mexico, and Central and South America. Infection results from inhaling airborne arthroconidia (spores), which represent one stage in the organism's life cycle. Exposure to arthroconidia occurs most frequently after dust storms, natural disasters, and earth excavations. Clinical illness after infection is more likely among immunocompromised people, pregnant women, and African American men. Sites of infection: The lungs. Disseminated disease may also involve the bones, joints, and soft tissues. The most serious complication is meningitis, which is nearly always fatal if untreated. Symptoms: Fever, headache, rash, muscle aches, dry cough, weight loss, and malaise. Diagnosis: By culture of sputum, bronchoscopically obtained respiratory specimen, or from biopsy of other affected areas. Direct examination of biopsies is also useful for detecting fungus. Serologic tests for antibodies to Coccidioides are useful, but are often negative in people with AIDS. Routine skin testing with coccidioidin (spherulin) in coccidioidomycosis-endemic areas does not predict disease and is not recommended.

    Extractions: What is it? Coccidioidomycosis (cok-SID-EEOY-do-my-ko-sis) is a fungal infection. It can occur in people with healthy or suppressed immune systems. In people with healthy immune systems, it usually causes mild or moderate lung problems. In people with suppressed immune systems, it can cause serious lung problems and can also spread to other organs, including the bones, joints, lymph nodes, kidneys, or skin. It can also cause disease of the central nervous system, which can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Coccidioidomycosis is caused by the fungus Coccidioides immitis . This fungus is predominantly found in the southwestern parts of the United States. This includes the central valley of California, Arizona, parts of New Mexico, and Texas west of El Paso. It can also be found in northern Mexico, parts of Central America, and Argentina. People can become infected with C. immitis
