    Extractions: COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS (Valley fever) 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 grows in arid (dry) and semiarid areas of the Western Hemisphere. In the United States, this range extends from California to southern Texas, and includes parts of Utah. How is coccidioidomycosis spread? Coccidioidomycosis is not contagious; it cannot be transmitted from an infected person or animal to someone else. People are infected with C. immitis

About 60% of infections cause no symptoms and are only recognized later by a positive coccidioidin skin test In the remaining 40% of cases, symptoms range from mild to severe. 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. The incidence of acute coccidioidomycosis is rare. In any given year, about 3% of people who live in an area where coccidiomycosis is commonly seen will develop the disease.

    Extractions: Coccidioidomycosis Introduction Etiologic agent = Coccidioides immitis Geographic distribution: The geographic distribution of this fungus is significantly different than that of Blastomyces and Histoplasma Coccidioides is restricted to the "Lower Sonoran Life Zone" (semi-arid, alkaline soils) of the southwestern U.S. However, the pathogenesis is similar to blastomycosis and histoplasmosis in that infection follows inhalation of fungal elements (arthroconidia) from the soil. Infections may be associated with activities that disrupt the soil or create dust, as exemplified by outbreaks among persons attending a model plane flying competition in California in 2001 and workers at an archeologic site in Utah in 2001. The incidence of coccidioidomycosis in people has increased markedly since 1998 in Arizona. This seems to be related to climatic factors (prolonged drought periods with hot and dusty conditions). Primary pulmonary infection occurs and, if the immune system cannot contain the infection at this level (either because of compromise or a large inoculum), then systemic disease can occur. However, COCCIDIOIDES IMMITIS INFECTIONS IN DOGS, CATS AND PEOPLE ARE OFTEN SUBCLINICAL!

    Extractions: Mean annual incidence rate of coccidiodomycosis, by age group ... Coccidioidomycosis is a systemic infection caused by the inhalation of airborne arthroconidia from Coccidioides immitis, a soil-dwelling fungus found in the southwestern United States, parts of Mexico, and Central and South America (1). Clinical manifestations occur in approximately 40% of infected persons and may include mild influenza-like illness; severe pneumonia; and rarely, disseminated disease and death (2). During 1990-1995, the number of reported cases of coccidioidomycosis in Arizona increased by 144%. To characterize trends in and the impact of coccidioidomycosis in Arizona, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) analyzed surveillance, death-certificate, and hospital discharge data. This report summarizes the findings, which indicate that, during 1990-1995, coccidioidomycosis in Arizona disproportionately affected persons aged greater than or equal to 65 years and persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Surveillance Surveillance data were compiled from the ADHS' General Communicable Disease Reporting System. In 1994, ADHS adopted the surveillance case definition for coccidioidomycosis proposed by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, which requires the presence of clinically compatible symptoms and laboratory evidence of infection * (3). Before 1994, ADHS relied solely on physician diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis and did not require laboratory confirmation. Incidence rates were calculated using 1990 census data adjusted to reflect Arizona's estimated annual population growth.
