Overview
A positive history of fever, arthralgia and erythema nodosum are suggestive of coccidioidomycosis. The most common symptoms of coccidioidomycosius include fever with chills, cough, and pleuritic chest pain.[1][2][3][4]
History
The significant information that needs to focused in the history of the patient includes
- Any history of travel to the endemic areas
- Any ill contact with similar complaints
Symptoms
Clinical manifestations of Coccidioidomycosis range from subclinical infection to fatal disseminated disease. Symptoms are based on the involvement of organ systems:
| Type of
coccidioidomycosis |
Symptoms |
|---|---|
| Pulmonary coccidioidomycosis | Most common symtoms |
| Less common symtoms | |
| Disseminated coccidioidomycosis | Its less common for coccidioidomycosis to desseminate, but if occurs symptoms depend on the organ involved
Bone: Joint pain , osteomyelitis Skin : Erythema Nodosum, Erythema multiforme Genito-urinary : prostatitis , Testicular swelling |
