Abstract
We report a case of relapse of coccidioidomycosis in an HIV-infected person who discontinued maintenance azole therapy following a response to antiretroviral therapy. This experience raises concern about the safety of withholding secondary prophylaxis for coccidioidomycosis in persons with HIV infection who have achieved immunological responses to antiretroviral therapy.Keywords
