Introduction. Coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever, is a fungal disease caused by Coccidioides species, prevalent in parts of the southwestern United States. It usually results from inhaling spores from soil and is a common cause of pneumonia in these regions. Case Presentation. We present a unique case of coccidioidomycosis in an immunodeficient male patient secondary to human immunodeficiency virus infection with poor adherence to anti-retroviral treatment.

BACKGROUND:In vitro, animal model and clinical evidence suggests that tuberculosis is not a monomorphic disease, and that host response to tuberculosis is protean with multiple distinct molecular pathways and pathologies (endotypes). We applied unbiased clustering to identify separate tuberculosis endotypes with classifiable gene expression patterns and clinical outcomes.
