Coming soonCoccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley fever, is an endemic fungal infection caused by inhalation of arthroconidia from the dimorphic soil fungi *Coccidioides immitis* or *Coccidioides posadasii*.
The infection primarily affects the respiratory system, presenting as a self-limiting influenza-like illness or community-acquired pneumonia characterized by cough, fever, chest pain, and fatigue.
Pathophysiologically, inhaled spores transform in lung tissue into thick-walled spherules filled with endospores that rupture and induce pyogranulomatous inflammation.
While most infections resolve spontaneously, the organism can cause chronic pulmonary cavitary disease or disseminate hematogenously to extrapulmonary sites—including the central nervous system, bones, joints, and skin—particularly in immunocompromised hosts, pregnant individuals, and certain demographic groups.
