Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company and is a way to protect your family in case of your death, by providing funds to pay outstanding bills, taxes and income loss. Under a Term Life contract, the insurance company promises to pay your beneficiaries a sum of money in the event that you die within a period of time defined in the contract (such as 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 years). Under a Permanent Life contract, a portion of the money you pay in premiums is invested in a fund that earns interest on a tax-deferred basis. Over time, your policy will accumulate a "cash value" that you can use. For instance, you can borrow against the value of your policy. Moreover, you can design a Permanent Life contract that will accumulate enough cash so as to be "paid up" by a certain age (e.g., "Paid Up Age 65").

Stevens, M.D., and George A. Sarosi, M.D. February 1996 Coccidioides immitis, a dimorphic fungus endemic in the southwestern United States and parts of Latin America, causes approximately 100,000 infections in the U.S. every year. A recent epidemic in California that was attributed to climactic changes resulted in a 10-fold increase in the number of cases in that state. Two other factors contribute to the rising number of cases of coccidioidomycosis seen in areas where the infection is endemic. The first is burgeoning population growth in the American southwest where, for example, the population of metropolitan Tucson had doubled over the past 25 years. The second is the AIDS epidemic.

Related Content Related Content Coccidioidomycosis - chronic pulmonary (Disease) Coccidioidomycosis - chest X-ray Tuberculosis, advanced - chest X-rays Fungus Definition Chronic pulmonary coccidioidomycosis is a disease caused by breathing in a fungus found in the soil in certain parts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Central and South America that can cause a chronic lung (pulmonary) condition. Causes And Risk The infection is caused by breathing in the spores acute chronic , or disseminated form. The chronic form usually develops after a latent period of months to years following an initial benign infection which may go undiagnosed. Lung abscesses may form and may rupture into the pleural spaces causing empyema (pus in the pleural space) or bronchopleural fistula. Scarring (fibrosis) and cavities may gradually form in the upper lungs as the chronic form of coccidioidomycosis slowly progresses over months to years. Still, the majority of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis infections do not become chronic. In fact, the majority of infections cause no symptoms and are only recognized by a positive coccidioidin skin test Dark skinned people and people with a weak immune system are more susceptible to infection and more likely to form chronic or disseminated (spreading to other organs) forms of the disease.

Related Content Related Content Coccidioidomycosis - acute pulmonary (Disease) Fungus Definition Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by inhalation of spores of Coccidioides immitis, a fungus found in the soil in certain parts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Central and South America. Causes And Risk Coccioioides infection begins in the lungs, following inhalation of the spores. About 60% of infections resolve without ever causing symptoms and are only recognized by a positive coccidioidin skin test In the remaining 40% of infections, symptoms range from mild (such as cold-like or flu-like symptoms) to severe, such as pneumonia. (See coccidioidomycosis .) In less than one percent of infections, widespread disease occurs when the fungus spreads from the lungs through the blood stream to involve the skin, bones, joints, lymph nodes, and central nervous system or other organs. Individuals of African or Philippine descent and people with a weak immune system, such as patients with AIDS or diabetes or those taking immunosuppressive medications, can develop more serious infections. Occasionally the acute infection can develop into a chronic pulmonary (lung) disease or can "reactivate" after a long latent period.

From the respiratory tract, it can spread to the skin, bones, and central nervous system. Manifestions of the disease range from complete absence of symptoms to systemic infection and death. In 60% of the cases no clinical evidence of the disease is present and the only recognizable sign is a positive skin test; in 15% symptoms resembling those of influenza occur; and in 25% more serious signs such as swelling of the knees, weakness, pleural pain, and prostration occur. Diagnosis is made upon positive cultural identification of the fungus. Treatment is with the antifungal amphotericin B and bed rest. The soil that supports Coccidioides spores is indigenous to dry, hot geographical areas; the SW United States, Argentina, and Paraguay are areas of high incidence of infection. Cases in the San Joaquin Valley in California, where the disease is called valley fever, increased tenfold between 1991 and 1995.

Fungus Coccidioidomycosis - disseminated Definition: A disease caused by breathing in a fungus (Coccidioides immitis) found in the soil in certain parts of the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America that spreads through the bloodstream to involve many organs. Alternative Names: Systemic coccidioidomycosis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: This is caused by breathing in the spores of a fungus in desert regions. About 60% of acute infections cause no symptoms and are only recognized by a positive coccidioidin skin test . In the remaining 40%, symptoms range from mild to severe. In disseminated disease, extension of infection to the bones, lungs, liver, meninges, brain, skin, heart, and pericardium (sac around the heart) may take place. Meningitis occurs in 30% to 50% of cases of disseminated disease. Immunodeficient ( immunosuppressed ) people, including those with HIV infection , diabetics, and pregnant women of any race are more prone to dissemination. Recent travel to or residence in southwestern deserts of the United States is a risk factor. Symptoms: cough fever chills headache muscle stiffness muscle aches neck stiffness or shoulder stiffness change in mental status sensitivity to light Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease: joint swelling joint pain skin reaction (erythema nodosum) arthritis ankle, feet, and leg swelling

A recent epidemic of coccidioidomycosis in California and the possibility of this infection's occurrence in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have renewed interest in the disease. The fungus Coccidioides immitis lives in soil (Figure 1). The infectious particle is the arthroconidium (arthrospore). When arthroconidia become airborne, they can establish new sites in the soil.

It is called valley fever because the fungus is commonly found in the soil of the valleys of the southwestern US, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. What is going on in the body? Valley fever may cause a range of mild symptoms, and a mild lung infection. Or the infection may be severe and progressive, and spread throughout the body, which can be fatal. What are the causes and risks of the infection? Valley fever is caused by a fungus that thrives in the soil. An infection occurs when a person breathes in dust from soil that contains the fungus. The disease is commonly found in California's San Joaquin Valley, southern and central Arizona, and southwest Texas. A person who works outdoors in those areas may be at a higher risk.

Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by breathing in the spores of a fungus Coccidioides immitis found in soil in desert regions of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Central and South America. Sometimes called Valley Fever or Desert Fever because of its prevalence in farming valleys, these fungi resist drying and easily become airborne. It usually affects the lungs but can spread and affect many organs. The disease can have an acute chronic , or disseminated form. Acute pulmonary coccidioidomycosis is almost always mild, with few or no symptoms, and resolves without treatment. The incubation period is 10 to 30 days and the incidence about 1 out of 100,000 people. Chronic pulmonary coccidioidomycosis can develop 20 or more years after initial infection which may not have been recognized, diagnosed, or treated. Infections (lung abscesses ) can form and rupture releasing pus empyema ) between the lungs and ribs (pleural space). The incidence of
