1. Design and evaluation of an AFLP molecular marker for the detection of Coccidioides spp. in biological samples
ABSTRACT At present, there is no standardized marker that is routinely used in clinical laboratories to diagnose coccidioidomycosis. Thus, the goals of this study were to obtain a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for the identification of Coccidioides spp., evaluate its specificity and sensitivity in fungal DNA-spiked blood and sputum sa

2. Coccidioidomycosis: first cases reported in Pernambuco, Brazil
ABSTRACT Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection caused by Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii. These fungi are known to thrive in desert climate. Fungi produce infectious arthroconidia in soil, they are aerosolized in the air and when inhaled by humans, usually cause infections such as pneumonia. The first cases of coccidioidomycosis in Brazil w

3. Coccidioidomycosis and the skin: a comprehensive review
AbstractCoccidioidomycosis is a highly prevalent disease in the Western hemisphere. It is considered one of the most virulent primary fungal infections. Coccidioides species live in arid and semi-arid regions, causing mainly pulmonary infection through inhalation of arthroconidia although many other organs can be affected. Primary inoculation is rare. Since

4. Coccidioidomycosis in armadillo hunters from the state of Ceará, Brazil
Coccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis with a variable clinical presentation. Misdiagnosis of coccidioidomycosis as bacterial pneumopathy leads to inappropriate prescription of antibiotics and delayed diagnosis. This report describes an outbreak among armadillo hunters in northeastern Brazil in which an initial diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia was later co

5. Mortality due to systemic mycoses as a primary cause of death or in association with AIDS in Brazil: a review from 1996 to 2006
Deaths caused by systemic mycoses such as paracoccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, coccidioidomycosis and zygomycosis amounted to 3,583 between 1996-2006 in Brazil. When analysed as the underlying cause of death, paracoccidioidomycosis represented the most important cause of deaths among systemic mycoses (~ 51.2%).

6. Coccidioidomicose no estado de Cearà (1995-2007): caracterÃsticas clÃnico-laboratoriais e anÃlise das fraÃÃes protÃicas do antÃgeno total de Coccidioides posadasii no imunodiagnÃstico / Coccidioidomycosis State of Cearà (1995 - 2007): characteristics clinical laboratory and analysis of protein fractions of antigen total Coccidioides posadasii in the immunodiagnosis
Coccidiodomycosis is a disease caused by dimorphic fungi of the Coccidioides genus â C. immitis and C. posadasii â which afflicts people and various animals, such as cattle, goats, rodents and dogs. It is restricted to the Americas and cases have been reported in the state of Cearà only since 1995. The infection generally results from inhaling the infecti

8. Isolamento e identificação de Coccidioides immitis de amostras de solo relacionadas a surtos de coccidioidomicose. / Isolamento and identification of Coccidioides immitis from soil samples related to outbreaks of coccidioidomycosis.
Coccidioidomycosis (CM) is a systemic mycosis that is endemic in the semi-arid Northeast of Brazil caused by the soil-inhabiting dimorphic fungus Coccidioides immitis non-CA [=C. posadasii]. In Brazil, the main epidemiological characteristic related to outbreaks of acute CM is the disturbance caused by armadillo hunters while digging them out of their infect

9. Coccidioidomycosis: an unusual cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome
A male farmer, 20 years old, from the countryside of the State of Piauí, developed acute respiratory infection. Despite adequate antimicrobial therapy, his conditions worsened, requiring mechanical ventilation. His X-rays showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. His PaO2/FiO2 ratio was 58. Direct microscopy and culture of tracheal aspirates showed the presence

10. Seroincidence of Coccidioidomycosis during Military Desert Training Exercises
Coccidioidomycosis is a common fungal infection acquired in the southwestern United States. This is the first study in over 2 decades to determine the seroincidence of Coccidioides immitis infections among U.S. military members performing training exercises in an area of endemicity. Only 8% of participants were aware of coccidioidomycosis, despite the majori

11. Posttransplantation Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Acquired from Donor Lungs
A North Carolinian developed fatal coccidioidomycosis immediately after bilateral lung transplantation. The donor had previously traveled to Mexico, and the recipient had no travel history to an area where Coccidioides immitis is endemic. Immunosuppresive therapy of the transplant recipient likely reactivated latent Coccidioides infection in the donor lungs,

12. An unusual case of coccidioidomycosis.
Dissemination of coccidioidomycosis is rare. The skin, musculoskeletal system, and central nervous system have been described as the most common sites of extrapulmonary disease. We present a case of an asymptomatic patient in whom the diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis was made on a lymph node biopsy. The biopsy was performed because of an abnormal mammogram an
