摘要

散播性球孢子菌病是一种不常见的真菌感染，主要见于免疫力低下的人。在美国西南部、中美洲和南美洲部分地区等真菌流行地区，患者吸入真菌孢子后通常会受到感染。然而，随着全球化的发展，流行地区以外的病例报告数量也在增加。在本文中，我们介绍了一例不寻常的球孢子菌脑膜炎病例，这是一种罕见但致命的播散性球孢子菌病并发症，患者免疫功能正常，曾居住在球孢子菌病流行地区。

A Case of Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Confirmed by Skin Biopsy in Korea

Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is an uncommon fungal infection primarily observed in immunocompromised individuals. Infection typically occurs when individuals inhale fungal spores in endemic areas such as the southwestern United States and parts of Central and South America. However, globalization has increased the number of reported cases outside endemic areas. Herein, we present an unusual case of coccidioidal meningitis, a rare but fatal complication of disseminated coccidioidomycosis, in an immunocompetent patient who previously resided in an endemic area.

期刊介绍： The Journal of mycology and infection (Acronym: JMI, Abbreviation: J Mycol Infect) aims to publish articles of exceptional interests in the field of medical mycology. The journal originally was launched in 1996 as the Korean Journal of Medical Mycology and has reformed into the current state beginning on March of 2018. The contents of the journal should elucidate important microbiological fundamentals and provide qualitative insights to respective clinical aspects. JMI underlines the submission of novel findings and studies in clinical mycology that are enriched by analyses achieved through investigative methods. The journal should be of general interests to the scientific communities at large and should provide medical societies with advanced breadth and depth of mycological expertise. In addition, the journal supplements infectious diseases in adjunct to the field of mycology to address a well-rounded understanding of infectious disorders. The Journal of mycology and infection, which is issued quarterly, in March, June, September and December each year, published in English. The scope of the Journal of mycology and infection includes invited reviews, original articles, case reports, letter to the editor, and images in mycology. The journal is compliant to peer-review/open access and all articles undergo rigorous reviewing processes by our internationally acknowledged team of editorial boards. The articles directed to publication should encompass in-depth materials that employ scholastic values of mycology and various infectious diseases. Articles responding to critical methodology and outcomes which have potential to enhance better understanding of mycology and infectious diseases are also suitable for publication.
