Coccidioidomycosis and COVID-19 Infection. An Analysis from a Single Medical Center Within the Coccidioidal Endemic Area

At a single medical center, we identified 60 cases of coccidioidomycosis that were coincident with COVID-19 infection. Among these, seven patients developed new or clinically progressive coccidioidomycosis. Receipt of dexamethasone for COVID-19 infection was the only significant risk factor for the progression or development of clinically active coccidioidomycosis in this cohort. All patients survived and none developed disseminated coccidioidomycosis.
