title: Coccidioidomycosis: first imported case in Italy.
abstract: We report a case of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis imported from the United States to Italy. This disease should enter in the differential diagnosis of any febrile patient (especially if presenting with pulmonary symptoms, with or without hypereosinophilia) coming from Coccidioides immitis endemic areas.
