DOI: 10.1093/labmed/lmz065
Abstract: The genus Coccidioides is composed of C. immitis and C. posadasii. Both can cause coccidioidomycosis and are geographically restricted to certain areas of endemicity. The histopathologic features in pulmonary coccidioidomycosis include necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and… read more here.
