Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection that is caused by Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii. The spores of these fungi are encased in spherules which are released into the air when the soil is disturbed. The infection is associated with exposure to soil in endemic areas such as the southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. Symptoms of coccidioidomycosis may include fever, cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Treatment may include antifungal medications. While the infection can be severe, it does not have a 100% mortality rate, and the prognosis varies depending on the severity of the infection and the patient's overall health.
