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.enMedicineAsymptomaticCoccidioidesDiabetes mellitusDermatologyInternal medicineEndocrinologyarticle
