Abstract

Coccidioidomycosis - a respiratory disease caused by a dimorphic fungi of the genus Coccidioides. It is endemic mycosis, and therefore for accurate and timely diagnosis it is necessary to collect epidemiological history with taking into account the patient's stay in endemic districts. Causative agents of coccidioidomycosis in saprobe phase grow and multiply in soils of United States, as well as of some regions of Central and South America. In addition, imported cases of coccidioidomycosis were diagnosed in many countries over the world.
