Infected Aneurysm of the Native Aorta due to Coccidioides posadasii

© The Author(s) 2021. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America..

Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic fungal infection that is typically asymptomatic or associated with pulmonary disease. Extrapulmonary disease may involve the skin, bones, or central nervous system, yet endovascular infections are exceedingly rare. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of coccidioidomycosis of the native aorta in an immunocompromised host.
