Rising Burden of Severe Pediatric Coccidioidomycosis: A 25-Year Single Center Study
Our longitudinal experience as a regional referral center underscores the increasing clinical severity and resource burden of pediatric coccidioidomycosis in endemic areas, requiring multidisciplinary effort. This highlights the need for heightened clinical vigilance, earlier recognition of dissemination, advocating for subspecialty collaboration, and evaluation of optimal antifungal and adjuvant treatment strategies in children.
