title: Persistent adenopathy in coccidioidomycosis: an indication for therapy.
abstract: Three patients seen recently at Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center emphasize the point that coccidioidomycosis may resemble lymphoma because of persistence of adenopathy on the chest roentgenogram after the initial infiltrate has resolved. Such a clinical picture strongly indicates dissemination and is probably sufficient reason to initiate therapy.
