Abstract

ABSTRACT Of 26 cases of coccidioidomycosis reported here, 15 showed hyphae, atypical parasitic structures of Coccidioides spp. in fresh cytologic and/or histologic specimen preparations. The finding of this morphology could have implications which should be considered, especially when the disease affects areas of nonendemicity.
