Coccidioidomycosis in the United States

Although largely limited to the western and southwestern states, Coccidioidomycosis is more commonly reported than legionellosis. More Americans die from Coccidioidomycosis than from the other two regional mycoses, Blastomycosis and Histoplasmosis. [1,2]   While Coccidioidomycosis is best known as a disease of California (“Valley Fever”) , highest incidence is reported from Arizona.  These data are even more striking when adjusted for relative population size (cases per 100,000 population).   References: Berger S.
