Coccidioidomycosis is endemic to the southwestern United States, especially between the San Joaquin Valley in California and southwestern Texas. It’s also found in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, and Paraguay.
It may result from inhalation of C. immitis spores found in the soil in these areas or from inhalation of spores from dressings or plaster casts of infected persons. It’s most prevalent during warm, dry months.
Because of population distribution and an occupational link (it’s common in migrant farm laborers), coccidioidomycosis generally affects Filipino Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, and Blacks. With primary infection, the incubation period is from 1 to 4 weeks.
