Abstract
As is well known, coccidioidomycosis is found in an endemic area that comprises southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas. This disease is undoubtedly sufficiently familiar to physicians living in this area and comes readily to mind whenever a difficult problem in differential diagnosis presents itself. Unfortunately, as a consequence of increased travel and migration during and after World War II, this disease is appearing from time to time in areas remote from the above-mentioned endemic area. Actually, only a few cases have appeared in other sections of the United States, but these cases are appearing with sufficient frequency to warrant consideration in obscure diagnostic problems. Schenken and Palik,1 in 1942, reported 27 cases of this disease occurring outside of California (New York, Missouri, South Carolina, Kansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, Nebraska, Texas, Alabama, New Jersey, Arizona, and Louisiana). In this article there is no mention of cases occurringKeywords
