    Emergence of Coccidioides posadasii in an asymptomatic Ecuadorian patient with diabetes: A case report
    (2024) Zanny Bastidas; Jeannete Zurita; Gabriela Sevillano; Jesus-Elias Dawaher; P. Mateos Cáceres; César Delgado
    Coccidioidomycosis is a potentially serious but poorly studied mycosis in Ecuador. It is not a notifiable infection; therefore, its true incidence and prevalence in Ecuador remain unknown. Because primary lung disease due to coccidioidomycoses is typically self-limiting, it does not usually require treatment. Here, we present the first case of <i>Coccidioides posadasii</i> infection in an asymptomatic patient with diabetes without a history of travel to an endemic area. This is the first case reported in Ecuador in the last half-century.
