Coccidioidomycosis treatment in Puebla

Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by a fungus that lives in the soils of arid and semiarid areas and is acquired by inhaling its spores present in dust. It affects mainly the lungs, although at times it can spread to other parts of the body.

Common symptoms: Cough, fever, fatigue, chest pain, and, in some cases, skin rashes or joint pain; many people have mild discomfort.

When to see the doctor? If you have respiratory symptoms that last a long time, especially if you live in or traveled to regions where it is common, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist and the infectious disease specialist, together with the internist, study this type of lung infection. If symptoms do not ease, it is advisable to have a professional review your case individually.
