Disseminated Disease

Coccidioidomycosis (CM), caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii, typically presents as acute or chronic pulmonary disease. However, disseminated disease occurs in about 1% of patients. Disseminated CM may affect multiple organ systems, including cutaneous, osteoarticular, and central nervous system sites. Here, we present a case of disseminated CM in a patient from a border city in Texas. The patient had a history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and was also taking an over-the-counter medication acquired in Mexico that contained a potent corticosteroid. The patient presented with seizures and was found to have a brain infarct, cavitary lung lesions, synovitis of the knee, multiple skin lesions, and chorioretinitis. The patient had a very high complement fixation titer for Coccidioides; fungal spherules were seen in a skin biopsy specimen, and Coccidioides grew in culture from a sample of synovial fluid and the skin biopsy specimen. This case illustrates the dissemination potential of Coccidioides, the danger of unregulated pharmaceuticals, the importance of thorough history taking, and recognizing risk factors that contribute to disseminated CM.
