| Resumen |
Inhalation of the arthrospores of Coccidioides immitis in dusty occupations and laboratory environments can cause pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. The disease has occurred amongst agricultural workers, military personnel, workers involved in excavation and laboratory and hospital workers in the semi-arid regions of the south-western and western United States. Fomite transmission of the spores in cotton waste, and primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis due to accidental inoculation, have also been reported. The incidence and severity of occupational coccidioidomycosis can be reduced by dust control measures and laboratory procedures. |
