Commercially insured patients with coccidioidomycosis in Arizona (n = 1640) were more likely to have symptoms indicating acute pulmonary disease (eg, cough, dyspnea, chest pain) compared with patients in California (n = 701), who were more likely to have disseminated coccidioidomycosis, possibly reflecting differences in exposure, healthcare seeking, or clinical management.
