TY - JOUR. T1 - Pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. AU - Thompson, George Richard. PY - 2011. Y1 - 2011. N2 - Coccidioidomycosis refers to the spectrum of disease caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. Clinical manifestations vary depending upon both the extent of infection and the immune status of the host. Coccidioidomycosis has been reported to involve almost all organ systems; however, pulmonary disease is the most common clinical manifestation. The incidence of coccidioidomycosis continues to rise, and primary coccidioidal pneumonia accounts for 17 to 29% of all cases of community-acquired pneumonia in endemic regions. The majority of patients with coccidioidomycosis resolve their initial infection without sequelae; however, several patients develop complications of disease ranging in severity from complicated pulmonary coccidioidomycosis to widely disseminated disease with immediately life-threatening manifestations. This review focuses on complications of ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Coccidioidomycosis in liver transplant recipients relocating to an endemic area. AU - Blair, Janis E.. AU - Douglas, David D.. PY - 2004/11. Y1 - 2004/11. N2 - Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic fungal infection of the desert southwestern United States. This infection occurs at a rate of 1% to 8% in solid organ transplant recipients residing in the endemic area, and it has a high rate of disseminated infection and mortality. The risk of infection among transplant recipients from nonendemic areas visiting or moving to an endemic region is not known. We reviewed the clinical course of 41 liver transplant recipients who originally resided in and underwent liver transplantation in an area of low coccidioidal endemicity and who later relocated their follow-up care to our program, which is located in an endemic area. No patients received antifungal prophylaxis to prevent primary coccidioidomycosis. Among 37 patients with at least 1 year of follow-up care, the incidence of new ...
Coccidioidomycosis: epidemiology
Coccidioidomycosis consists of a spectrum of disease, ranging from a mild, self-limited, febrile illness to severe, life-threatening infection. It is caused by the soil-dwelling fungi, Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii, which are present in diverse endemic areas. Climate changes and environmental factors affect the Coccidioides lifecycle and influence infection rates. The incidence of coccidioidomycosis has risen substantially over the past two decades. The vast majority of Coccidioides infections occur in the endemic zones, such as California, Arizona, Mexico, and Central America. Infections occurring outside those zones appear to be increasingly common, and pose unique clinical and public health challenges. It has long been known that elderly persons, pregnant women, and members of certain ethnic groups are at risk for severe or disseminated coccidioidomycosis. In recent years, it has become evident that persons with immunodeficiency diseases, diabetics, transplant recipients, and ...

Coccidioidomycosis
For patients with clinically mild infection, such as focal pneumonia, or who have a positive coccidioidal serologic test alone, initial therapy with a triazole antifungal is appropriate (BII). Fluconazole or itraconazole at doses of 400 mg daily is recommended (636Galgiani JN, Ampel NM, Blair JE, et al. Coccidioidomycosis. Clin Infect Dis 2005;41:1217-23., 637Galgiani JN, Ampel NM, Catanzaro A, et al. Practice guideline for the treatment of coccidioidomycosis. Clin Infect Dis 2000;30:658-61.). Data are limited with regard to the newer triazoles, posaconazole and voriconazole, but these agents might be useful in cases that fail to respond to fluconazole or itraconazole. Voriconazole should be used cautiously with HIV PIs and efavirenz.. For patients with either diffuse pulmonary involvement or severely ill patients with extrathoracic disseminated disease, amphotericin B is the preferred initial therapy (AII) (636Galgiani JN, Ampel NM, Blair JE, et al.

Welcome to CDC stacks | Influence of host genetics on the severity of coccidioidomycosis. - 14902 | Emerging Infectious Diseases
Coccidioidomycosis, a mild flulike illness in approximately 40% of infected persons, progresses to severe pulmonary or disseminated disease in 1% to 10% of symptomatic cases. We examined host genetic influences on disease severity among class II HLA loci and the ABO blood group. Participants included African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic persons with mild or severe disseminated coccidioidomycosis from Kern County, California. Among Hispanics, predisposition to symptomatic disease and severe disseminated disease is associated with blood types A and B, respectively. The HLA class II DRB1*1301 allele marks a pre-disposition to severe disseminated disease in each of the three groups. Reduced risk for severe disease is associated with DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 among Caucasians and Hispanics and with DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 among African-Americans. These data support the hypothesis that host genes, in particular HLA class II and the ABO blood group, influence susceptibility to severe coccidioidomycosis ...
Coccidioidomycosis - Wikipedia
Coccidioidomycosis (/kɒkˌsɪdiɔɪdoʊmaɪˈkoʊsɪs/, kok-sid-ee-oy-doh-my-KOH-sis), commonly known as cocci, Valley fever, as well as California fever, desert rheumatism, and San Joaquin Valley fever, is a mammalian fungal disease caused by Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii. Coccidioidomycosis is endemic in certain parts of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and northern Mexico. C. immitis is a dimorphic saprophytic fungus that grows as a mycelium in the soil and produces a spherule form in the host organism. It resides in the soil in certain parts of the southwestern United States, most notably in California and Arizona. It is also commonly found in northern Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. C. immitis is dormant during long dry spells, then develops as a mold with long filaments that break off into airborne spores when it rains. The spores, known as arthroconidia, are swept into the air by disruption of the soil, such as during ...

N2 - The proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1α (IL-1α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were induced in mice infected with Coccidioides immitis. Analyses of the cytokine profiles of two inbred mouse strains which differ in their susceptibility to pulmonary challenge with C. immitis revealed higher levels of IL-6 in lungs from DBA/2 mice (resistant strain) than in those from BALB/c mice (susceptible strain) beginning at day 6 and continuing through day 15 postinfection. Spleen cells from both mouse strains secreted TNF-α, IL-1α, and IL-6 in vitro in response to stimulation with killed spherules but differed in that spleen cells from the resistant strain produced increased levels of these cytokines earlier after pulmonary challenge and at increased levels throughout the course ...
Cocci | Invasive Mycoses | Adult and Adolescent Opportunistic Infection | AIDSinfo
Epidemiology. Coccidioidomycosis is caused by a soil-dwelling fungus that consists of two species, Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. Most cases of coccidioidomycosis in HIV-infected individuals have been reported in the areas in which the disease is highly endemic.1 In the United States, these areas include the lower San Joaquin Valley and other arid regions in southern California; much of Arizona; the southern regions of Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico; and western Texas.2 Recently, cases of coccidioidomycosis that appeared to be acquired in eastern Washington state have been reported.3 Whether this is anomalous or is a manifestation of an expanding area of endemicity is not clear at this time. In some instances, coccidioidomycosis has been diagnosed in patients with HIV infection well outside the known endemic regions. These have presumably been the result of reactivation of a previously acquired infection.. The risk of developing symptomatic coccidioidomycosis after infection is ...

Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever)
Valley fever (also called coccidioidomycosis or cocci) is a disease caused by a fungus that grows in the soil and dirt in some areas of California and the southwestern United States. Anyone who lives, works, or visits in areas where Valley fever has been reported can become infected. People and animals can get sick when they breathe in dust that contains the Valley fever fungus. This fungus usually infects the lungs and can cause respiratory symptoms including cough, fever, chest pain, and tiredness. In most people, the infection will go away on its own, but anyone who has these symptoms for more than a week should see a doctor or healthcare provider. Although it can be difficult to prevent Valley fever, the best way to reduce your risk is to avoid breathing in dirt or dust in areas where Valley fever is common. ...

AKC Canine Health Foundation | Predicting the Outcome of Coccidioidomycosis in Naturally Infected Dogs
Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) is a systemic fungal infection endemic to the desert southwestern United States. Dogs are affected, with an estimated $60 million per year in diagnostic and treatment costs. Valley Fever has a variable clinical picture, ranging from subclinical infections to mild disease to severe, uncontrolled disease. Development of a vaccine to prevent, or reduce, illness in dogs is currently underway. T-cells are a type of immune system cell called lymphocytes. It has been demonstrated that a robust T-cell mediated immune response is needed to control the infection in mice and humans. Exploratory work suggests this is also true in dogs. The investigators plan to develop an assay of canine T-cells, from dogs with variable clinical responses to naturally-occurring infections, that will allow them to correlate T-cell responses with the severity of clinical disease. This information will allow better prediction of the clinical course of disease in dogs, resulting in improved treatment

In the past decade, state-specific increases in the number of reported cases of coccidioidomycosis have been observed in areas of California and Arizona where the disease is endemic. Although most coccidioidomycosis is asymptomatic or mild, infection can lead to severe pulmonary or disseminated disease requiring hospitalization and costly disease management. To determine the epidemiology of cases and toll of coccidioidomycosis-associated hospitalizations in California, we reviewed hospital discharge data for 2000-2011. During this period, there were 25,217 coccidioidomycosis-associated hospitalizations for 15,747 patients and >$2 billion US in total hospital charges. Annual initial hospitalization rates increased from 2.3 initial hospitalizations/100,000 population in 2000 to 5.0 initial hospitalizations/100,000 population in 2011. During this period, initial hospitalization rates were higher for men than women, African Americans and Hispanics than Whites, and older persons than younger persons.

Coccidioidomycosis - Cancer Therapy Advisor
There is no need to treat clinically insignificant disease, diagnosed only by serologies.. The decision to treat cocci pneumonia should be based on clinical features: hypoxemia, large infiltrate or effusion, weight loss of greater than 10%, persistent symptoms greater than 2 months, age greater than 55, other patient characteristics (see risk factors described above), and titers. Titers greater than 1:16 are generally thought to be more likely to disseminate. Treat with fluconazole 400 mg daily or itraconazole 200 mg twice a day for 3-6 months, but this may need to be longer or with higher dose depending on severity and risk factors for dissemination (see above).. Disseminated disease mandates treatment, depending on location and patient comorbidities. Third-generation oral azole antifungals are first-line management in most cases and none is superior to any other in all cases.

Coccidioides - Wikipedia
Coccidioides is a genus of dimorphic ascomycetes in the family Onygenaceae. Member species are the cause of coccidioidomycosis, also known as San Joaquin Valley fever, an infectious fungal disease largely confined to the Western Hemisphere and endemic in the Southwestern United States. The host acquires the disease by respiratory inhalation of spores disseminated in their natural habitat. The causative agents of coccidioidomycosis are Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. Both C. immitis and C. posadasii are indistinguishable during laboratory testing and commonly referred in literature as Coccidioides. Coccidioidomycosis is amazingly diverse in terms of its scope of clinical presentation, as well as clinical severity. About 60% of Coccidioides infections as determined by serologic conversion are asymptomatic. The most common clinical syndrome in the other 40% of infected patients is an acute respiratory illness characterized by fever, cough, and pleuritic pain. Skin manifestations, ...

Coccidiodes (Valley Fever) PCR test
Coccidioides species are dimorphic fungi. Coccidioides immitis is endemic to the San Joaquin valley of California; Coccidioides posadasii is found in desert regions of the southwestern United States including Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and West Texas, and also in parts of Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay and Central America. There is very little difference in morphology or clinical presentation between the 2 species, and both can cause the disease coccidioidomycosis, also referred to as Valley Fever.. Coccidioides fungi are commonly found in soil and dust in endemic areas (Johnson et al., 2014). Arthroconidida are the infectious form of the fungi. When the arthroconidida dissociate, they can be carried by the wind for many miles. Coccidioidomycosis cases increase when there are rainy summers followed by dry winters, and after earthquakes or after humans disturb the soil by plowing, construction or similar activities.. When the anrthroconidida are inhaled into the lungs, they transform into ...

Peritoneal and genital coccidioidomycosis in an otherwise healthy Danish female: a case report | BMC Infectious Diseases | Full...
Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection that usually presents as a primary lung infection. The fungus is endemic to the Southwest United States of America, northern Mexico and parts of Central and South America the infection is rare outside these areas. However, some patients develop disseminated infection that can lie dormant for several years and can present itself in travelers. We report the first case of extra pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis in a non-immunocompromised individual in Denmark. A 32 year old Danish woman presented at the Emergency department with abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan and ultrasound examination of the pelvis raised suspicion of salpingitis. A laparoscopy exposed a necrotic salpinx and several small white elements that resembled peritoneal carcinomatosis. Histological workup however determined that she suffered from disseminated coccidioidomycosis. The patient had lived 2 years in Las Vegas, in the United States of America, 7 years prior and had no memory of lung
Pleural Effusion in Michigan Caused by Coccidioides Immitis After Trav by Christopher M. Hughes and Paul A. Kvale
Primary coccidioidal disease is rarely diagnosed in the midwest in the nonimmunocompromised host. Since coast-to-coast travel is common today, many patients may become exposed to Coccidioides immitis while traveling in endemic areas. We present a case of acute coccidioidal pleural effusion in a Michigan woman who had recently visited northeastern Arizona. Her travel history was the single most important factor in the eventual diagnosis of coccidioidal pleural effusion.

Role of lymphocytes in macrophage-induced killing of Coccidioides immitis in vitro. | Infection and Immunity
Peritoneal macrophages from normal mice phagocytized arthroconidia and endospores of Coccidioides immitis without affecting the viability of the spores within 4 h after infection. In contrast, macrophages, when infected in the presence of lymphocytes from immune mice, significantly reduced the viability of phagocytized endospores and arthroconidia. The inability of macrophages from normal mice to kill C. immitis may in part be explained by the observation that C. immitis appeared to inhibit fusion of the phagosomes containing fungal spores with the lysosomes within the macrophages. However, fusion of phagosomes containing spores and lysosomes was observed in macrophages infected in the presence of lymphocytes from immune mice. ...
Ground-Water Quality Data in the Kern County Subbasin Study Unit, 2006 - Results from the California GAMA Program
Ground-water quality in the approximately 3,000 square-mile Kern County Subbasin study unit (KERN) was investigated from January to March, 2006, as part of the Priority Basin Assessment Project of the Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program. The GAMA Priority Basin Assessment project was developed in response to the Groundwater Quality Monitoring Act of 2001, and is being conducted by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The Kern County Subbasin study was designed to provide a spatially unbiased assessment of raw (untreated) ground-water quality within KERN, as well as a statistically consistent basis for comparing water quality throughout California. Samples were collected from 50 wells within the San Joaquin Valley portion of Kern County. Forty-seven of the wells were selected using a randomized grid-based method to provide a statistical

A smaller percentage of infected dogs develop disseminated infections. Sites of dissemination often include osteoarticular sites, the central nervous system (CNS), skin, peripheral lymph nodes, eyes, testes, prostate, and the pericardium.9,10 Rarely, sites such as the liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, or urinary system are affected.8 Sometimes dissemination to only one anatomic site is evident; in other dogs multiple sites are involved. A history of respiratory signs may be absent.8 Bone involvement may manifest as lameness and/or one or more firm swellings associated with the appendicular or axial skeleton. Dogs with skin involvement may have subcutaneous masses ulcerated skin lesions that drain serosanguineous fluid (Figure 63-3).8 Skin lesions may overlie sites of osteomyelitis.

RpiB | SSGCID
ribose-5-phosphate isomerage B (RpiB):Presented here is a series of crystal structures solved by the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID) of ribose-5-phosphate isomerase B, or RpiB, from the pathogenic fungus, Coccidioides immitis. This parasite, which resides in the soil in certain parts of the western hemisphere, causes coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever. The disease is difficult to diagnose as it causes masses which mimics a lung tumor. Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion between ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This family of enzymes naturally occurs in two distinct classes, RpiA and RpiB, which play, among others, an important role in the pentose phosphate pathway, which converts a type of glucose into other molecules. Although RpiB occurs predominantly in bacteria, the RpiB from this fungal pathogen contains high structural similarity to other known RpiB structures despite modest sequence similarity. The C.

Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum seeds expressing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Alanine- and Proline-rich antigen | AMB Express |...
The glycoprotein APA (Alanine- and Proline-rich Antigen, a 45/47 kDa antigen complex, Rv1860) is considered as a major immunodominant antigen secreted by M. tuberculosis. This antigen has proved to be highly immunogenic in experimental models and humans, presenting a significant potential for further development of a new vaccine for tuberculosis. Glycosylation plays a key role in the immunogenicity of the APA protein. Because plants are known to promote post-translational modification such as glycosylation and to be one of the most economic and safe hosts for recombinant protein expression, we have over expressed the APA protein in transgenic tobacco plants aiming to produce a glycosylated version of the protein. Seeds are known to be a well-suited organ to accumulate recombinant proteins, due to low protease activity and higher protein stability. We used a seed-specific promoter from sorghum, a signal peptide to target the protein to the endoplasmic reticulum and ultimately in the protein storage

1. Since neither my D.O. nor my autoimmune doctor know of any tests for fungal infections (besides the Gut Ecology test), I talked with Amgen / Wyeth (the makers of Enbrel) and they suggest a specialist like an Infectious Disease doctor. On 8/1/13 I saw Christine S Forszpaniak, MD and she states that anyone not severely sick (vomiting, respiratory, etc.) usually does not take the tests for histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. When these tests are done on people who are healthier, they only confirm whether antibodies have been made whenever I was in contact with one of these fungi. Even if there is a confirmation, there can be false-positives and the results can only lead to academic at best. Only when you feel ill should you take the medication for the fungal infections. As for my test results confirming Saccharomyces, taking Nystatin & Clotrimazole along with low sugar diet is the best protocol that can be done. To recap, take the ...

In the context of our interest in host-pathogen interactions, we are pursuing currently the following projects:. Neisseria. We have developed a novel mouse model to study the mechanisms of commensalism, from the standpoint of both the host and bacterium. The model involves noninvasive inoculation of the well-studied lab mouse with a new commensal Neisseria species isolated from the normal flora of healthy wild mice. The model allows studies of colonization, and the elusive process of persistence, in a variety of mucosal niches, from the relatively well-studied intestinal tract to the less well-studied respiratory tract and oral cavity. Experimentation is guided by a vast store of knowledge on the mouse and close relatives of the bacterium. Using this unique model, we will identify immune processes and mouse genes critical for susceptibility to N. tucsonensis colonization and bacterial genes critical for colonization and persistence..

causes rats in laboratory cancer: November 2007
A general rule with any fungal infection is that it takes a long time to clear. Valley Fever is no different and a year of medication administration is fairly common. Treatment continues until the clinical signs have resolved, the radiographs look normal, and the antibody level has stabilized (note antibody levels may never fully drop to zero). Ketoconazole, itraconazole , and fluconazole are the usual drugs to treat this condition. Monitoring liver enzymes is important with all of these, particularly since long treatment courses are common.. Lufenuron, the active ingredient in the flea control product Program, was developed to inhibit the development of chitin (the crunchy exterior material of the insect body). The idea was that a flea larva who had fed upon blood pellets (flea dirt) from a pet treated with oral lufenuron would be unable to properly pupate into an adult flea. It turns out that the shell of Coccidioides immitis is also rich in chitin and that lufenuron at specific doses may be ...
