A case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis--autopsy report

J H Woo et al. J Korean Med Sci. 1996 Jun.

Abstract

Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal infection that is occurring more commonly and causes high mortality in patients with compromised host defense or debilitated. It is endemic in certain areas of North, Central, and South America. Increasingly, cases are being recognized outside the endemic area, due to travelers who have visited an endemic area. We experienced a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis, as a reactivation of infection acquired earlier in a patient, who was a former resident of an endemic area.
