Coccidioidomycosis (/kɒkˌsɪdiɔɪdoʊmaɪˈkoʊsɪs/, kok-SID-ee-oy-doh-my-KOH-sis), is a mammalian fungal disease caused by Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii.[3] It is commonly known as cocci,[4] Valley fever,[4] as well as California fever,[5] desert rheumatism,[5] or San Joaquin Valley fever.[5] Coccidioidomycosis is endemic in certain parts of the United States in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and northern Mexico.[6]
