| Diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis is made by serologic tests or by culture of the organism. |
| Here, we analyze a microsatellite data set collected from the human fungal pathogen Coccidioides immitis, the etiological agent of coccidioidomycosis. |
| For example, a patient with HIV who lives in the southwest United States is more susceptible to coccidioidomycosis. |
| Now reemerging, coccidioidomycosis is sometimes called San Joaquin Valley fever or Valley fever. |
| Although a histoplasmin test is a good screening test, it often cross-reacts in patients with coccidioidomycosis. |
| Other human diseases caused by fungi include athlete's foot, ringworm, aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis. |
