A Case of a Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Presenting as Supraclavicular Mass
Abstract
Andre Johnson and Sudhakar Mallela
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley fever, is an infection caused by exposure to dimorphic soil-dwelling fungi of the genus Coccidioides. Inhalation of the arthroconidia from either fungi C. immitis or C. posadasii causes lung infections. Lung pathology is by far the most common presentation of coccidioidomycosis, representing over 95% percent of all cases.
