CTICasesCoccidioidomycosis
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph and CT show extensive bilateral peri-bronchial nodularity, dense consolidation in the left lower lobe, and small cavitary lucencies representing microabscesses. Cultures and DNA testing confirmed Coccidioides infection.
Key takeaways
Coccidioidomycosis can present as a severe, diffuse pneumonic process with microabscesses in immunocompromised or heavily exposed hosts. Gathering a geographic history is key, as symptoms can develop after leaving endemic zones.
