Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis is a rare infection caused by the dimorphic fungi or . This fungal infection is very common in the American Southwest as well as northern Mexico. Though the fungus is ubiquitous, symptomatic coccidioidomycosis usually occurs in the elderly or immunocompromised. This case report discusses a unique instance of an immunocompetent 29-year-old male without any notable past medical history who was found to have a coccidioidal cavitary lung lesion with concomitant pyopneumothorax.
摘要
球孢子菌病是一种由双相真菌或引起的罕见感染。这种真菌感染在美国西南部以及墨西哥北部非常常见。尽管这种真菌无处不在，但有症状的球孢子菌病通常发生在老年人或免疫功能低下者身上。本病例报告讨论了一个独特的案例，一名29岁免疫功能正常的男性，既往无任何显著病史，却被发现患有球孢子菌性肺空洞病变并伴有脓气胸。
