Current Landscape of Coccidioidomycosis

Abstract: Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley fever, is an endemic fungal infection commonly found in the southwestern parts of the United States. However, the disease has seen an increase in both in its area of residency and its prevalence. This review compiles some of the latest information on the epidemiology, current and in-development pharmaceutical approaches to treat the disease, trends and projections, diagnostic concerns, and the overlapping dynamics of coccidioidomycosis and COVID-19, including in special… Show more

“…As apresentações clínicas da coccidioidomicose e da COVID-19 podem ser extremamente variáveis e, para além da coinfecção, a infecção fúngica pode ser confundida com a virose aguda causada pelo SARS-CoV-2 durante o evento pandêmico (Aduroja et al, 2021;Heaney et al, 2021;Shah et al, 2020;Benedict et al, 2021;Chen et al, 2021;Kole, 2022;Shah et al, 2021;Shah et al, 2020;Zavala & Stark, 2021). Apresentações atípicas ou a falta de repertório médico no processo de avaliação dos quadros clínicos podem induzir a diagnósticos errôneos, pois podem mimetizar outras patologias como pneumonia, tuberculose, câncer testicular, infecção aórtica, artrite séptica poliarticular, disfunção das cordas vocais e choque séptico com falência múltipla de órgãos (Boro et al, 2022).…”

“…Coccidioides immitis ocorre no sudeste da Califórnia e foi recentemente descrito no estado de Washington, Estados Unidos da América. Coccidioides posadasii ocorre nos estados de Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Utah, em parte do México, Guatemala, Honduras, Colômbia, Venezuela, Brasil, Bolívia, Paraguai e Argentina (Cordeiro et al, 2021;Laniado-Laborín et al, 2019;Williams & Chiller, 2022;Boro et al, 2022). Gorris et al (2019) avaliaram a progressão da epidemiologia de Coccidioides spp., indicando que além do aumento da incidência das infecções por esse fungo, a ocorrência de casos fora das áreas endêmicas é cada vez mais frequente.…”

“…Incidence was reported to increase by almost 800% from 2000 to 2018 in California, and in 2018 over 15,000 cases were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States [ 3 , 4 ]; (2) The increase in the area of endemicity. Historically endemic in the arid and semiarid areas of the southwestern USA, Mexico, Central America, and South America [ 5 ], Coccidioides were recently reported to expand to Utah, Oregon, and Washington state [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]; (3) The emergence of clinical isolates conferring resistance to antifungals [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
