| Human infection by Coccidioides spp. possessing this gene leads to the respiratory disease coccidioidomycosis or San Joaquin Valley fever. |
|
| Persons with coccidioidomycosis may present with cough, fever, and night sweats. |
|
| Although a histoplasmin test is a good screening test, it often cross-reacts in patients with coccidioidomycosis. |
|
| Coccidioides spp. are the etiological agents of the human respiratory disease known as coccidioidomycosis or San Joaquin Valley fever. |
|
| Other fungal infections to consider include cryptococcosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis and sporotrichosis. |
|
| For example, a patient with HIV who lives in the southwest United States is more susceptible to coccidioidomycosis. |
|
| Other human diseases caused by fungi include athlete's foot, ringworm, aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis. |
|
| Now reemerging, coccidioidomycosis is sometimes called San Joaquin Valley fever or Valley fever. |
|
| In about 50 percent of the cases of benign coccidioidomycosis there are no symptoms. |
|
| Diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis is made by serologic tests or by culture of the organism. |
|
| The scientific term for the disease is coccidioidomycosis, most commonly known as valley fever. |
|
| Here, we analyze a microsatellite data set collected from the human fungal pathogen Coccidioides immitis, the etiological agent of coccidioidomycosis. |
|
| These include aspergillosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, mycetomas, and paracoccidioidomycosis. |
|
| The F. D. A. has also received reports of other fungal infections including coccidioidomycosis and blastomycosis, in patients taking the tumor necrosis factor, or TNF, alpha blockers. |
|
| Fungal infections such as coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis should also be considered, particularly if the patient was recently exposed to excavations, backyard swimming pools, old sheds or barns, or dust storms. |
|
| Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. |
|
| Immunity to coccidioidomycosis induced in mice by purified spherule, arthrospore, and mycelial vaccines. |
|
| Potential bias from out-of-state residents was minimal because most disseminated coccidioidomycosis hospitalizations occurred within the state of residence. |
