pubmed:abstractText |
A cardiac transplant patient developed disseminated coccidioidomycosis shortly after transplantation and institution of immunosuppressive therapy. The patient was maintained on intravenous and intrathecal amphotericin B for 19 months, but when therapy was discontinued, the disease relapsed and he died. At autopsy the cardiac allograft was without signs of rejection, but the patient had coccidioidomycotic lesions in multiple organs. There is an increasing number of reports of disseminated coccidioidomycosis in immunocompromised patients, especially those who receive steroids or immunosuppressive therapy. Coccidioidomycosis may represent a severe complication in the transplant patient.
