Coccidioides immitis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound.
The use of endoscopic ultrasound in staging non-small cell lung cancer is well known. Its role in diagnosing non-malignant conditions that cause mediastinal adenopathy is still not well established. We diagnosed Coccidioides immitis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in two patients using endoscopic ultrasound. To our knowledge this is the first case of Coccidioidomycosis to be diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound.
