title: Rare manifestations of coccidioidomycosis.
abstract: Involvement of the central nervous system and extrapulmonary sites by Coccidioides immitis is reported primarily in patients with cell-mediated immune deficiency. We present a case of a patient with no prior history of immunosuppression who presented to a public hospital in New Orleans with disseminated Coccidioides infection.
