Disseminated coccidioidomycosis in a liver transplant recipient with negative serology: use of polymerase chain reaction
Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis has been previously described in recipients of solid organ transplantation, especially in patients who have lived in or have visited areas endemic for Coccidioides spp. We present a case of coccidioidomycosis in a liver transplant recipient with several unique aspects, including negative serology and positive polymerase chain reaction results.
