A Retrospective Natural History Study of Coccifioidmycosis in California
Knowledge gaps exist regarding disease risk factors, presenting signs and symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and treatment for coccidiodomycosis infection. This study evaluates a large cohort of patients with community-acquired pneumonia in Southern California to assess cocci testing practices; additionally we evaluate a large cohort of patients diagnosed with cocci during 2011 to assess the natural history of infection.
