| الوصف: | Coccidioidomycosis a fungal infection endemic to southwestern United States. It is caused by inhalation of spores of Coccidioides immitis . Sixty percent of infections are asymptomatic; the remaining 40% are primarily pulmonary disease. In 1:512. Bone scan showed uptake of adjacent bones in the affected joints. Superimposed bacterial infection of the wrist complicated the treatment course and delayed the start of liposomal amphotericin B. Eventually patient received 12 weeks of intravenous liposomal amphotericin-B with slow clinical improvement and then switched to oral isavuconazonium for maintenance therapy. This case shows that although disseminated polyarthritis coccidioidomycosis is very rare, clinicians should keep the diagnosis of disseminated synovial coccidioidomycosis in mind in patients with risk factors. |
