Peritoneal coccidioidomycosis: case report and review
Clin Infect Dis.
2000 Jun.
Abstract
Peritonitis is an unusual extrapulmonary manifestation of coccidioidomycosis. Peritoneal involvement often has an indolent course and may resolve spontaneously. Optimal management has not been defined; however, fluconazole's spectrum of activity, pharmacokinetic profile, and efficacy in dialysis-related yeast peritonitis suggest that it may be an effective treatment. To our knowledge, we report the first case of coccidioidal peritonitis treated with fluconazole and review the literature.
