Dr. Donohue Soil-fungus spores cause 'valley fever' Dear Dr. Donohue: Do you have any information about valley fever? E.B. Valley fever has the daunting name coccidioidomycosis (kok-SID-ee-OI-doe-my-COE-suss). It's a fungal infection. The fungus thrives in the semiarid regions of the Southwestern United States and in parts of Mexico. The San Joaquin valley gave the illness the name of valley fever. It has climatic conditions perfect for growth of this soil-inhabiting fungus. Digging in soil containing the fungus spreads fungal spores in the air. People inhale the airborne spores, and the stage is set for infection. However, the great majority of people who inhale spores never become sick and never know they had an encounter with the valley fever fungus. A small number of people develop a flu-like illness, never becoming very sick and quickly recovering from their rendezvous with valley fever fungus. An even smaller number of people come down with serious infection. They have fever, muscle pains, night sweats and cough. Pneumonia is the most common manifestation of the infection, but muscles can hurt and joints can swell. The skin over the shins often sprouts a crop of painful red bumps. The seriously ill are given antifungal drugs by vein. Neither illness nor treatment is a pleasant experience. Most, however, recover.

MY BOUT WITH VALLEY FEVER Judith (don't know her last name) asked me to write something up about a disease I had several years ago. I really didn't want to get melodramatic, since a lot of people have been sick a lot more seriously than I was and lived to tell about it with a whole lot more lingering effects that I could ever have. When I originally wrote this I had been sick for over two weeks and that is the longest I have had something hang on and that is probably because of lingering weakness. When I was in Los Banos, California, the Senior Pastor resigned so I was out of a job and my family and I had an addiction that demanded a three times a day fix, so I dusted off my construction tools and went back on the roof. I had heard of a disease that was prevalent in the San Joaquin Valley. "Valley Fever" was more than just a name for an award winning drum and bugle corps from Modesto, California. Coccidioidomycosis is the Latin for "There are mushrooms growing in your lungs and those little fungus things want to grow in other parts of your body." We had already candidated at the Church in Gabbs, Nevada and were preparing to move up there. The week we were to move, I got pneumonia and my wife and doctor won out and I was committed to the hospital. Four weeks later I was discharged from Merced Community Medical Center having been transferred there from Los Banos Community Hospital for the last two and a half weeks of my confinement only to have four more weeks of having some chemicals pumped in to my veins three times a week.

By Flora Beach Burlingame Special to Sierra Gateway Neighbors (Published Friday, January 10, 2003, 3:11 PM) The lust for gold first brought settlers to Mariposa County, but by the dawn of the 20th century, this massive county, which initially covered one-fifth of the state of California, had been divided 12 ways. Agua Fria, the former county seat, was gone, as were numerous other mining camps, and the remaining towns were just emerging from a 30-year slump in the mining industry. In the early 1900s copper mines reopened to address a world copper shortage followed by a revitalization of gold mining. But throughout this century more reasons than precious metals have brought people to the area and influenced the economy. Better access to the foothill and mountain communities, agriculture and a national park within its boundaries have been crucial factors in the survival and stability of Mariposa County.

C immitis is a dimorphic fungus that is endemic to certain arid regions in the southwestern United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America. The disease has numerous names related to the location in which it is acquired (eg, valley fever, San Joaquin fever, desert fever, California fever) or clinical manifestations with which it presents (eg, desert rheumatism, coccidioidal granuloma). Most simply and commonly, the symptomatic infection is referred to as cocci. Coccidioidomycosis was first recognized as a distinct disease entity in 1892. In 1900, coccidioidomycosis was identified as a fungal infection. The first documented case of coccidioidomycosis was diagnosed in an Argentinean soldier who had predominantly cutaneous manifestations. The fact coccidioidomycosis is not a rare, uniformly fatal infection was not appreciated until a medical student accidentally inhaled C immitis.

The Class of '69 Guestbook Return to the home page. Thank you for visiting our pages. We would love it if you would Add to this guestbook we are keeping! To the class: This is Sunny again. I really tried to live in San Diego but I was allergic to something down there. So, having examined all my options, I find I want to come home and live in Lemoore. I have a real estate agent looking for a small, older house with charm, a place where I can write, take walks like I did in high school, not live in fear of being mugged and in general enjoy life in a small town. My Fresno friends are a little baffled, but I want to keep all of that at an arm's distance. The writing world is already taking over my life while in San Diego I was asked by Walden book chain to allow them to set up signings and have me speak on the anthology, "Valley Fever: Where Murder Is Contagious." I was contacted by an editor who wants to include my prize-winning story, "Ten Shopping Days 'Til Murder" to the Blue Murder anthology. I'm supposed to be doing lectures soon at the International Bouchercon in Las Vegas. That's the direction I'm going

Contacts Valley fever spherule (on right) in lung tissue. Credit: Valley Fever Center for Excellence Research and Products Predicting Valley Fever Incidence Project Overview This project aims to answer several research questions: What is the basic relationship between climate conditions and valley fever incidence? What climate variables are important determinants of incidence? Can incidence be predicted given climate conditions? While earlier research has shown links between valley fever and climate, this project is the first to rigorously study the issue. CLIMAS researchers compared medical records documenting valley fever incidence and climate data from Kern County, CA (Bakersfield region) and Pima County, AZ (Tucson region) from 1989 to 1998 (Figure 2). The data analysis revealed a complex relationship in which winter and summer rains play a key factor. For example, the number of peak cases in Pima County usually occurred in dry months of May and June, right before the summer monsoon, and again in November and December.

Valley Fever Sneaky fungus that can make you very sick. Synopses Coccidioidomycosis: A Reemerging Infectious Disease Theo N. Kirkland, M.D., and Joshua Fierer, M.D. Departments of Pathology and Medicine, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Diego, California, USA - Coccidioides immitis, the primary pathogenic fungus that causes coccidioidomycosis, is most commonly found in the deserts of the southwestern United States and Central and South America. During the early 1990s, the incidence of coccidioidomycosis in California increased dramatically. Even though most infections are subclinical or self-limited, the outbreak is estimated to have cost more than $66 million in direct medical expenses and time lost from work in Kern County, California, alone. In addition to the financial loss, this pathogen causes serious and life-threatening disseminated infections, especially among the immunosuppressed, including AIDS patients. This article discusses factors that may be responsible for the increased incidence of coccidioidomycosis (e.g., climatic and demographic changes and the clinical problems of coccidioidomycosis in the immunocompromised) and new approaches to therapy and prevention. Etiology Epidemiology C. immitis is primarily found in desert soil. It is present in highest numbers in the San Joaquin Valley in California, southern Arizona, southern New Mexico, west Texas, and the desert areas of northern Mexico (Figure 2) [Figures not available in ASCII]. The organism is also found in scattered foci in coastal southern California, southern Nevada, and Utah (7) and is endemic in a few areas in Central and South America, especially in Venezuela (7). C. immitis is distributed unevenly in the soil and seems to be concentrated around animal burrows and ancient Indian burial sites (8,9); it is usually found 4 to 12 inches below the surface of the soil (7).
