Abstract

Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection endemic to the desert regions of the southwestern United States. Pulmonary symptoms predominate and are usually mild and self-limited. Dissemination is rare in the immunocompetent host. We present a case of disseminated, peritoneal coccidioidomycosis diagnosed during routine inguinal herniorrhaphy in an adult male. The current literature is summarized, and management recommendations are suggested.

摘要

球孢子菌病是一种真菌感染，在美国西南部沙漠地区流行。肺部症状最为常见，通常较轻且具有自限性。在免疫功能正常的宿主中，播散性感染很少见。我们报告一例成年男性在常规腹股沟疝修补术中被诊断为播散性腹膜球孢子菌病的病例。本文总结了当前的文献，并提出了管理建议。
