Abstract

Although extrapulmonary Coccidioides infection is rare, it has been shown to disseminate to the skin and musculoskeletal system, with a strong affinity for bone. We present a case of disseminated Coccidioides infection with bone scintigraphy indicating diffuse fungemia despite equivocal serum assay, leading to appropriate antifungal therapy and a full recovery.

骨显像在弥散性球虫真菌病检测中的作用。

虽然肺外球虫感染是罕见的，但它已被证明可以传播到皮肤和肌肉骨骼系统，对骨骼有很强的亲和力。我们提出一个播散性球虫感染的病例，骨显像显示弥漫性真菌血症，尽管模棱两可的血清测定，导致适当的抗真菌治疗和完全恢复。
