Coccidioidomycosis; acute (primary) pulmonary

Alternative names:

San Joaquin Valley fever; valley fever

Prevention:

Avoiding travel to regions where this fungus is found may prevent risk of developing this disorder; however, this is not practical or possible for many people. For people living in those areas, prevention may not be possible (this is a rare disorder, so prevention is usually not a concern except for immunocompromised people).
