People who become infected while traveling may not develop symptoms of the disease until after they leave the area.

    Extractions: (*PDF version) for printing. What is coccidioidomycosis? Coccidioidomycosis is an infectious disease caused by inhaling spores of a fungus called Coccidioides immitis . The disease starts out as a respiratory illness and may progress to a persistent infection. Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is the most severe form of the disease and is often fatal. Who gets coccidioidomycosis? Anyone who is present near dust-producing activities where soil or other materials contaminated with C. immitis are present can get coccidioidomycosis if enough spores are inhaled. People of African or Asian descent, pregnant women and people who are immunocompromised are at increased risk for developing disseminated coccidioidomycosis. C. immitis

    Extractions: Mesa Veterinary Hospital is pleased to announce the arrival of Associate Veterinarian Dr. Michelle Moeller . Dr. Moeller comes to Mesa after completing a year-long internship at Animal Referral and Emergency Center of Arizona, where she focused on small animal medicine and surgery. WE HAVE A WINNER! Coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever, is a disease caused by the fungus coccidioides imminia, which exists as a mold found in the soil. The highest incidence of this disease occurs in the desert areas of the southwestern United States. The environmental conditions necessary for survival of the fungus include a warm, arid climate, low elevations with small amounts of rainfall, and relatively alkaline soil. The disease occurs in most species of domestic animals, many exotic animals, and in man. It is usually not considered contagious from one animal to another or from animal to man. The disease occurs as a result of the inhalation of fungal spores directly from the soil or from dust in the air.

    Extractions: Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by inhaling the microscopic spores of the fungus Coccidioides immitis . Spores are the tiny, thick-walled structures that fungi use to reproduce. Coccidioidomycosis exists in three forms. The acute form produces flu-like symptoms. The chronic form can develop as many as 20 years after initial infection and, in the lungs, can produce inflamed, injured areas that can fill with pus (abscesses). Disseminated coccidioidomycosis describes the type of coccidioidomycosis that spreads throughout the body affecting many organ systems and is often fatal. Description Coccidioidomycosis is an airborne infection. The fungus that causes the disease is found in the dry desert soil of the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. Coccidioidomycosis is sometimes called San Joaquin fever, valley fever, or desert fever because of its prevalence in the farming valleys of California. Although commonly acquired, overt coccidioidomycosis is a rare disease. Chronic infections occur in only 1 out of every 100,000 people. Although anyone can get coccidioidomycosis, farm laborers, construction workers, and archaeologists who work where it is dusty are at greater risk to become infected. People of any age can get coccidioidomycosis, but the disease most commonly occurs in the 25-55 age group. In its acute form, coccidioidomycosis infects men and women equally.

    Extractions: Facsimile: Coccidioidomycosis is initially, a respiratory infection, resulting from the inhalation of conidia, that typically resolves rapidly leaving the patient with a strong specific immunity to re-infection. However, in some individuals the disease may progress to a chronic pulmonary condition or to a systemic disease involving the meninges, bones, joints and subcutaneous and cutaneous tissues. Coccidioides immitis is a soil inhabiting fungus endemic in south-western U.S.A., northern Mexico and various centres in South America. Several cases have now been diagnosed in Australia, all in patients with a history of travel to endemic areas. 60% of individuals suffer a benign and transient chest infection that does not require medical attention. Of the 40% who develop symptoms, most will have an acute febrile "flu-like" illness starting 7-28 days (average 10-16 days) after exposure and most patients will recover completely. The main symptoms are fever, pleuritic chest pain, cough, malaise, headache, myalgia, night sweats and loss of appetite. Many patients also develop a mild, diffuse erythematous or maculopapular rash on the trunk and limbs. However, 5-10% of patients that do develop symptoms are left with pulmonary residual nodule or cavity that is usually detected several months or years later. Another 5% of patients may develop metapulmonary dissemination to the meninges, bones, joints and subcutaneous and cutaneous tissues, within the first few weeks to months after the onset of primary infection .

People with a compromised immune system tend to have more serious infections. Individuals with AIDS are at higher risk for pulmonary (lung) coccidioidomycosis , as well as for the disseminated (spread to many body systems) and cutaneous (skin) forms of the disease. 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 7 to 21 days.

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
