Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal infection that is occurring more commonly and causes high mortality in patients with compromised host defense or debilitated. It is endemic in certain areas of North, Central, and South America. Increasingly, cases are being recognized outside the endemic area, due to travelers who have visited an endemic area. We experienced a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis, as a reactivation of infection acquired earlier in a patient, who was a former resident of an endemic area.
播散性球孢子菌病是一种全身性真菌感染,在宿主防御功能受损或身体虚弱的患者中更为常见且死亡率高。它在北美洲、中美洲和南美洲的某些地区呈地方性流行。由于前往过地方性流行区的旅行者,在非流行区越来越多地发现了病例。我们遇到了一例播散性球孢子菌病病例,是一名曾居住在地方性流行区的患者早年感染的复发。
