Chronic Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic pulmonary coccidioidomycosis is an infection of the lungs caused by a fungus present in the soil of arid regions, which persists or evolves over time. It is acquired by inhaling spores from the environment and is more common in certain regions of the country.
Common symptoms: Prolonged cough, sputum production, chest pain, fatigue, night sweats, and weight loss that persist over time.
Causes and context: The risk increases with exposure to dust in endemic regions and in people with weakened defenses.
Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist, the infectious disease specialist, and the internist assess its origin and follow-up. If a cough or respiratory discomfort persists, it is worth having it evaluated by a professional.
