To compare coccidioidomycosis case rates among groups of young adults in a disease-endemic region, we reviewed medical charts for serologic testing and coding. Case rates were higher for scholarship athletes than for other students and paralleled 5x more serologic testing. Our findings underscore the need to routinely test patients for coccidioidomycosis.
为了比较疾病流行地区青年人群中球孢子菌病的发病比率,我们对血清学检测和编码的医疗记录进行了回顾。奖学金运动员的发病比率高于其他学生,且血清学检测的比例高出 5 倍。我们的研究结果强调了对患者进行球孢子菌病常规检测的必要性。
