CLINICAL ASPECTS OF COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS

Abstract

In two cases, as a result of a laboratory infection, pulmonary coccidioidomycocis occurred. The diagnosis was confirmed by intracutaneous coccidioidin -reaction and by the complement fixation test as well as by microscopic and cultural demonstration of the germ. The course of the illness was in both cases relatively mild, the pulmonary infiltrations receded under nonspecific therapy within several weeks. In progressive granulomatous coccidioidomycocis treatment with Amphotericin-B should be considered.
