Coccidioides immitis

This antimycotic, which was iatroduced for topical use, shows in vitro activity against dermatophytes, species of Candida Jispergillus Coccidioides immitis Histop/asma capsulatum Cryptococcus neoformans and Madure/h species. Petriellidium (Alkscheria) boydii and Phialophora species are less sensitive. [Pg.253]

Miconazole. Miconazole (Fig. 2, 7a) is also available as a sterile solution for intravenous infusion. Miconazole has a therapeutic effect on systemic mycoses due to C albicans A.spergillusfumigatus Cyptococcus neoformans Blastomyces dermatitidis Histoplasma capsulatum Coccidioides immitis Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Petriellidum boydii.

Coccidioidomycosis is caused by infection with Coccidioides immitis. The endemic regions encompass the semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States from California to Texas, known as the Lower Sonoran Zone. It encompasses a spectrum of illnesses ranging from primary uncomplicated respiratory tract infection that resolves spontaneously to progressive pulmonary or disseminated infection. [Pg.430]

Coccidioides immitis is a dimorphic fungus that grows in soil in much of the southwestern United States infection results from inhalation of airborne C. immitis arthroconidia. Coccidioidomycosis is not transmitted from person to person. Approximately 60% of infected persons are asymptomatic the remainder can develop a spectrum of disease from mild influenza-like illness to pneumonia to disseminated disease, including meningitis. Because the incubation period for this infection ranges from 1 to 4 weeks, persons who may... [Pg.343]

Chrysosporium zonatum was detected recently as the agent of a disseminated infection in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease. C. zonatum is the anamorph of the heterothallic ascomycete Uncinocarpus orissi [276]. Although a dimorphism is absent, this species is phylogenetically closely related to Coccidioides immitis [277]. It produces abundant arthroconidia and degrades cellulose as well as keratin [277]. [Pg.239]

The mycelial fungus Coccidioides immitis, affecting both humans and animals, is rarely encountered in Europe, whereas endemic areas are known in America. In this context, coccidioidomycosis (Paracoccidioides brasili-ensis) should also be mentioned. [Pg.508]

For systemic treatment of fungal infections in dogs and cats, ketoconazole and fluconazole are available as tablets and oral suspensions, itraconazole as capsules, while miconazole and fluconazole are available as parenteral solutions. Even though ketoconazole is often effective, itraconazole may be the preferred azole for the treatment of systemic disease caused by dimorphic fungi (Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Sporothrix schenckii). The activity of fluconazole against dimorphic fungi is limited to coccidioidal disease (Coccidioides immitis), but this azole penetrates the blood-brain barrier. [Pg.200]
