Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis is accepted as being noncontagious because the infectious arthroconidial form of Coccidioides immitis is not produced in humans and other mammalian hosts. However, disseminated coccidioidomycosis developed in a veterinarian who autopsied a horse with disseminated disease but without draining lesions or productive cough. We postulate transmission occurred by inhalation of tissue-phase endospores aerosolized in the course of dissection.Entities:
