Abstract

Coccidioidomycosis, while endemic to the American Southwest, may occur in travelers on return to their homes. Usually asymptomatic in human hosts, approximately 40% of infected subjects will have pulmonary signs and symptoms and 2% will have dissemination from the pulmonary foci. The larynx may be secondarily involved or may be the site of sputum inoculation.

摘要

球孢子菌病虽在美国西南部为地方病，但旅行者返家后也可能发病。在人类宿主中通常无症状，约40%的感染患者会出现肺部体征和症状，2%会出现肺部病灶播散。喉部可能继发受累，也可能是痰液接种部位。
