Overview
It is important to screen for Coccidioidomycosis in all cases of community acquired pneumonia in endemic areas.
Screening
Coccidioidomycosis is often mistaken for community acquired pneumonia(CAP) and this grossly underestimates the actual cases in the community. It is therefore important to screen for Coccidioidomycosis in all cases of community acquired pneumonia in endemic areas.[1]
