During a ten year period, tuberculosis and coccidioidomycosis occurred in less than one and three percent respectively of 380 patients who had received dialysis and renal transplants in Southern Arizona. In two patients, who were immunosuppressed by diabetes, renal failure, and inanition, these infections were concurrent and diagnosis was delayed. Because the occurrence of both illnesses in two patients is unlikely by chance alone and because both infections were present when symptoms developed, potentiation of one infection by the other may have occurred.
在十年期间，在亚利桑那州南部接受透析和肾移植的380名患者中，结核病和球孢子菌病的发生率分别低于1%和3%。在两名因糖尿病、肾衰竭和营养不良而免疫抑制的患者中，这两种感染同时发生，诊断延迟。由于仅靠偶然因素在两名患者中同时发生这两种疾病的可能性不大，而且在症状出现时两种感染都已存在，因此可能发生了一种感染对另一种感染的增强作用。
