Coccidioidomycosis is an invasive fungus found primarily in the soil of Southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Primary disease mostly presents as a pulmonary disease although multiple organ systems can be affected through lymphohematogenous dissemination, with ocular seeding extremely rare. When present, the anterior segment structures are most commonly affected. Isolated choroid and/or vitreal disease has been reported infrequently. This is a case of chorioretinitis with vitreal involvement.
球孢子菌病是一种侵袭性真菌,主要存在于美国西南部、墨西哥和中美洲的土壤中。原发性疾病大多表现为肺部疾病,尽管多器官系统可通过淋巴血行播散受到影响,眼部播散极为罕见。当出现时,眼前段结构最常受累。孤立的脉络膜和/或玻璃体疾病鲜有报道。这是一例伴有玻璃体受累的脉络膜视网膜炎病例。
