Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis is endemic in regions of the Americas, but this infection may be encountered in travellers who return from an endemic region. A case is reported of a disseminated infection in a Hong Kong Chinese man, who was successfully treated with amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) after intolerance and toxicity precluded the use of other antifungal agents. Lipid-based formulations of amphotericin B merit further evaluation in the treatment of coccidioidomycosis and other systemic mycoses.
