Macular coccidioidomycosis.
A 26-year-old woman had an enlarging dense macular lesion in the right eye. The funduscopic and angiographic findings were distinctly different from those in macular histoplasmosis. She was found to have a coccidioidomycotic granuloma in the left lung and was treated with amphotericin B. Within a month the macular lesion was cicatricial. This appears to be the first reported case of presumed ocular coccidioidomycosis in Canada.
