Bravo to the lecturer. Well layed out, relatable presentation, makes clear distinctions about work up, management and clinical pearls. He should do a 5min discussion on every infectious disease - for exam review, he’d collapse other board review companies

The first time I had it, it took a MONTH for my “well-reviewed” doc office to actually do what was needed. It took and ER visit for them to mention valley fever. I switched offices and got the care I needed. I have it again this year and when I mentioned that to the ER they did the blood work on me and I was positive yet again.

yea i keep hearing it comes back again which sounds so horrible. I'm 25 and I was diagnosed with it and the symptoms are debilitating. My titer is only 1:4 was still horrible symptoms and I just began medicine. Im guessing there's no way to keep it from coming back?

I hope docs are still watching this, and I agree on getting an update, please. I had disseminated cocci from 2003-2006. I got it after the Cedar Fire in San Diego. The fire was across the street from our house and afterwards, bulldozers went through to stop the embers from flaring. It was that upheaval of the dirt that had the cocci spores I inhaled. I was immune compromised (diabetes, obesity, etc.) and got it good. While I was dx'd pretty early and was put on Itraconazole first, I was moved to fluconazole (Edit: 400mg flu qd x 3 years) after horrible reactions to itra. The worst sx (besides nodules and now ground glass lungs I have still in 2024,) was herpes meningitis. After two lumbar punctures showed what was happening, I was on Valcyclovir x 2 years. I was on the flu for 3 years total, with off an on itra and vori when it flared. When I had been on the flu for a couple of weeks, I went from San Diego to Orlando, that was when it kicked in bad with lesions that freaked the docs out. After they understood what I had, the Infectious Disease docs and students from around Orlando came in and "studied" me. I had biopsies of the lesions to see the spores, several imaging experiences, my first LP, and was talked about as if I wasn't there many times. I was glad to teach something new, though! I live in Orlando now and blessedly, no re-occurence, however I watch for it! I am no longer immuno-compromised, so that helps lots. Thanks for this! Great information.

Some of these doctors and dentist in the south west are lousy, they miss diagnose coccidioidomycosis as cancer probably more often than not. Even when went to get a chipped tooth i chipped from eating Del Monte California large black olives one still had pit in it. The Asian woman dentist at Magic Smiles Dental in Mesa Arizona said she would not work on the chipped tooth unless she drilled and filled six other teeth, they all looked fine and the appointment was only for the chipped tooth. The southwest is a health care malpractice nightmare.

I think this is what killed two of relatives possibly. They were both diagnosed in Arizona as having lung cancer. I am not sure if any there doctors ever tested for Valley Fever.

People who suffer from this would be amazed how the eye floaters that resemble balls of fungal hyphae dissipate in a number of weeks and the tinnitus caused by the infection lessens.

Fungi of any kind can't survive allicin, curcuma longa and fatty acids like Caprylic acid.

Thanks... time to get tested I think I’ve been dealing with this since I can remember. unfortunately I think my grandma had it and my mom may have it too. It doesn’t help that we’re part Filipino.
