Etymologia: Coccidioides
Nevertheless, reducing dust is a reasonable risk-reduction strategy for addressing occupational coccidioidomycosis. On the basis of our findings, we recommended that prison management weigh the advantages and disadvantages of various environmental mitigation efforts to reduce dust exposures.

Development of these vaccines should incorporate immunological tools that integrate with or replace chemotherapy to minimize antibiotic use and consequent resistance. In this review, we evaluate the current developmental status of fungal vaccines against coccidioidomycosis. There is a need...

Its diagnosis is complicated, due to that it shares clinical and histopathological characteristics with other pulmonary mycoses. Coccidioides spp. is a dimorphic fungus and, in its saprobic phase, grows as a mycelium, forming a large amount of arthroconidia. In susceptible persons, arth...
متن کاملCryptococcus and Coccidioides in Sarcoidosis

We would like to suggest additional ways to test this hypothesis, as well as suggesting that Cryptococcus spp. be included in the list of fungi considered possible precipitants. A single-center study of...
