Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is an airborne illness caused by the fungus Coccidioides immitis. When the infection is in your lungs, it's known as valley fever. When it spreads from the lungs to other tissues, it's known as disseminated coccidioidomycosis. The condition requires immediate medical attention.
Valley fever, also called coccidioidomycosis, is an infection caused by the fungus Coccidioides. The fungus is known to live in the soil in the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico and Central and South America. The fungus was also recently found in south-central Washington.
Valley fever is a fungal disease that occurs only in certain parts of the United States and South America. A person can only contract it by inhaling fungal spores. It can lead to fever, chest pain, coughing, and some other symptoms. Valley fever is caused by the fungus Coccidioides immitis (C.
The most common way that healthcare providers test for Valley fever is by taking a blood sample and sending it to a laboratory to look for Coccidioides antibodies or antigens. Healthcare providers may do imaging tests such as chest x-rays or CT scans of your lungs to look for Valley fever pneumonia.
Valley Fever derives its name from its discovery in the San Joaquin Valley of California, where it was also referred to as "San Joaquin Valley Fever" or "Desert Rheumatism." The medical name for Valley Fever is coccidioidomycosis (often shortened to "cocci").
The scientific name for Valley fever is “coccidioidomycosis,” and it's also sometimes called “San Joaquin Valley fever” or “desert rheumatism.” The term “Valley fever” usually refers to Coccidioides infection in the lungs, but the infection can spread to other parts of the body in severe cases (this is called “ ...
Coccidioidomycosis is acquired by inhaling spores. Spores are present in soil and can become airborne in dust that can travel downwind. Thus, certain occupations (eg, farming, construction) and outdoor recreational activities increase risk.
The chronic form of the infection can cause lung abscesses and scarring in your lungs. There's roughly a one percent chance that the fungal infection could spread to the rest of your body, causing disseminated valley fever, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
The presence of IgG antibody parallels the CF antibody and indicates an active or a recent asymptomatic infection with Coccidioides immitis; however, antibody may persist after the infection has resolved. An equivocal result (a band of non-identity) cannot be interpreted as significant for a specific diagnosis.
Coccidioidomycosis, a fungal disease called “cocci” or “valley fever,” is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the southwestern US. In 2011, more than 20,000 cases were reported in the US, twice as many cases as tuberculosis.
Most people who have Valley fever will make a full recovery. A small percent of people develop long-term lung infections that can take several years to get better. In very severe cases of Valley fever, the nervous system can be affected and there may be long-term damage, but this is very rare.
Primary extrapulmonary coccidioidomycosis. Clinical Information. A fungal infection caused by coccidioides immitis. Affected individuals usually have mild flu-like symptoms. However, pneumonia and systemic involvement with the formation of abscesses may develop as complications of the disease.
Infection with a fungus of the genus coccidioides, species c. Immitis; primary form is an acute, benign, self limited respiratory infection due to inhalation of spores and varying in severity; secondary form is a virulent, severe, chronic, progressive granulomatous disease with systemic involvement.
