A child developed hydrocephalus. Sixteen months later, it was discovered to be a complication of coccidioidal meningitis. The infection's source was uncertain until genomic analysis of the fungal isolate identified its origin to be a visit to Beeville, Texas. Improved national reporting of cases of coccidioidomycosis might reduce diagnostic delays.
一名儿童罹患脑积水。16 个月后，发现其为新型隐球菌性脑膜炎的并发症。直到真菌分离株的基因组分析确定其源自德克萨斯州比维尔的一次访问，感染源才变得不确定。改善对球孢子菌病病例的全国报告可能会减少诊断延误。
