Increased Coccidioidomycosis Among Inmates at a California Prison: Initial Investigation in 2005 to 2006.

Since 2005, coccidioidomycosis has increased among inmates at a California prison. Our initial investigation found an incidence of 3,323 cases/100,000 persons. Black race, age >= 41 years, and residence on Yard C were significantly associated with coccidioidomycosis (p <.05). Inmates at this prison have continued to be at risk for coccidioidomycosis.
