Extractions: Mean annual incidence rate of coccidiodomycosis, by age group ... Coccidioidomycosis is a systemic infection caused by the inhalation of airborne arthroconidia from Coccidioides immitis, a soil-dwelling fungus found in the southwestern United States, parts of Mexico, and Central and South America (1). Clinical manifestations occur in approximately 40% of infected persons and may include mild influenza-like illness; severe pneumonia; and rarely, disseminated disease and death (2). During 1990-1995, the number of reported cases of coccidioidomycosis in Arizona increased by 144%. To characterize trends in and the impact of coccidioidomycosis in Arizona, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) analyzed surveillance, death-certificate, and hospital discharge data. This report summarizes the findings, which indicate that, during 1990-1995, coccidioidomycosis in Arizona disproportionately affected persons aged greater than or equal to 65 years and persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Extractions: For the rest of my pages on fungi, please click http://TomVolkFungi.net Coccidioides immitis (kok-sid-ee-OID-eez IMM-ih-tiss) is the cause of a nasty fungal disease called coccidioidomycosis (kok-sid-ee-oid-oh-my-KOH-sis). Like the other true-pathogenic, systemic human fungal diseases histoplasmosis blastomycosis , and paracoccidioidomycosis, Coccidioidomycosis starts out as a lung disease caused by inhalation of the conidia, shown to the left. Most often the disease causes mild flu-like symptoms, but usually is resolved in the lungs. This fungus is a dimorphic pathogen, which means it can change from the room-temperature hyphal form at to the body-temperature spherule form (shown to the right) containing endospores. These endospores can be transported by the bloodstream to other parts of the body, particularly to the brain and central nervous system, where they can germinate and grow to cause even more severe disease. The dimorphism helps the fungus to evade the immune system by the changing of the surface antigens of the fungus. The disease often begins as a benign, inapparent or mildly severe upper respiratory infection that usually resolves rapidly. Recovery from mild forms of the disease usually results in lifelong immunity to reinfection. However, if there are enough spores inhaled, or if the person's immune system is compromised in some way, the disease can spread to other parts of the body, Rarely the disease is an acute or chronic severe disseminating fatal mycosis. If infection is established, the disease may progress as a chronic pulmonary condition or as a systemic disease involving the meninges (lining of the brain), bones, joints, and subcutaneous and cutaneous tissues. Such involvement is characterized by the formation of burrowing abscesses. Although the symptoms of the disease are quite variable, but often the patient has an allergic reaction to the circulating fungus, producing reddening of the skin known as "desert bumps," shown to the left.

Extractions: On 12 December, the United Kingdom Public Health Laboratory Service reported to WHO one laboratory confirmed case of coccidioidomycosis. The patient, a 72 year old male, had attended the October 2001 World Championship of Model Airplane Flying near Bakersfield, California, United States (US) from 4-14 October. The World Championship was an international event with competing teams from 30 countries. Also in attendance were team supporters and spectators from around the world. WHO has received additional reports of possible cases of coccidioidomycosis, however these cases have not been officially confirmed. WHO Regional Offices have been notified and a contact list of participants and attendees of the event has been sent to them. WHO is monitoring the situation closely. Coccidioidomycosis is caused by Coccidioides immitits, occurs in arid and semi-arid regions and is endemic in the south-western US. The disease is acquired by inhalation of the infective organism from soil or laboratory cultures. It is not directly transmissible from humans or from animals to humans. After an incubation period of 1-4 weeks, the primary infection may be entirely asymptomatic or resemble an acute influenzal illness. Disseminated disease may develop insidiously, sometimes years after the primary infection. Effective treatment is available. For additional information about coccidioidomycosis, please see the

http://www.studentnow.com/health/nf005.htm

Extractions: Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection caused by inhalation of the fungus Coccidioides immitis. C. immitis grows as a mold in the soil. When the soil is disturbed, the mold hyphae fragment, forming structures that become airborne. If inhaled by animals or humans, they transform into thick-walled spheres that produce thousands of endospores, which are capable of reproducing. Epidemics of coccidioidomycosis have occurred following large-scale soil disturbances caused by dust storms, earthquakes, and excavations. In persons with competent immune systems, the majority of infections produce no symptoms or mild, self-limited upper respiratory tract illness. At least two-thirds of coccidioidal infections go unnoticed. Moderate to severe illness involving the lower respiratory tract takes several weeks to develop. Acute infections usually resolve without therapy within a few weeks or months. In 5-10% of persons, however the infection progresses to chronic pulmonary disease or disseminates via the blood or lymph circulation to the skin, bones, meninges, or other sites.

A recent epidemic of coccidioidomycosis in California and the possibility of this infection's occurrence in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have renewed interest in the disease. The fungus Coccidioides immitis lives in soil (Figure 1). The infectious particle is the arthroconidium (arthrospore). When arthroconidia become airborne, they can establish new sites in the soil. The fungus undergoes an alternative form of development when inhaled by a potential host.

The disease is acquired by inhalation of fungal spores from dust, usually generated by human activities or natural disasters. Occurrence C. immitis is endemic in regions in the Americas with an arid climate, yearly rainfall 5-20 inches, hot summers, winters with few freezes, and alkaline soils. In the United States, it is found in Arizona, Southern California, New Mexico, Western Texas, and parts of Utah. Outside the United States, coccidioidomycosis is endemic in parts of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and Venezuela. Risk for Travelers In disease-endemic areas, persons can be at increased risk for disease if they participate in or are present during ground-disturbing activities resulting in exposure to dust. These outdoor activities include construction, landscaping, mining, agriculture, archaeologic excavation, military maneuvers, and recreational pursuits (e.g., dirt biking). Natural events that result in generation of dust clouds in disease-endemic areas, such as earthquakes or windstorms, increase the risk of infection among exposed persons.

Extractions: Pulmonary nodule - front view chest X-ray Definition: Coccidiodomycosis is a disease caused by the spores of the fungus, Coccidioides immitis. Alternative Names: Coccidiosis; San Joaquin Valley fever; Valley fever Causes And Risk: Infection is caused by inhalation of the spores of the fungus, Coccidioides immitis, which is often found in desert regions. About 60% of infections cause no symptoms and are only recognized later by a positive coccidioidin skin test In the remaining 40% of cases, symptoms range from mild to severe. People with a compromised immune system tend to have more serious infections. Individuals with AIDS are at higher risk for pulmonary (lung) coccidioidomycosis , as well as for the disseminated (spread to many body systems) and cutaneous (skin) forms of the disease. The disease can have an acute chronic , or disseminated form. Acute pulmonary coccidioidomycosis is almost always mild, with few or no symptoms, and resolves without treatment. The incubation period is 7 to 21 days.

Extractions: Back Back to main Health Information page Fungus Definition: Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by inhalation of spores of Coccidioides immitis, a fungus found in the soil in certain parts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Central and South America. Causes And Risk: Coccioioides infection begins in the lungs, following inhalation of the spores. About 60% of infections resolve without ever causing symptoms and are only recognized by a positive coccidioidin skin test In the remaining 40% of infections, symptoms range from mild (such as cold-like or flu-like symptoms) to severe, such as pneumonia. (See coccidioidomycosis .) In less than one percent of infections, widespread disease occurs when the fungus spreads from the lungs through the blood stream to involve the skin, bones, joints, lymph nodes, and central nervous system or other organs. Individuals of African or Philippine descent and people with a weak immune system, such as patients with AIDS or diabetes or those taking immunosuppressive medications, can develop more serious infections.
