Coccidioidomicosis pulmonar crónica

Prevención:

Debido a que la coccidioidomicosis por lo general no produce síntomas o en la mayoría de las infecciones sintomáticas generalmente se resuelve con rapidez, por sí sola, sin producir síntomas significativos, generalmente no hay necesidad de evitar la infección. Las personas inmunocomprometidas, como los pacientes de SIDA y aquellos que consumen medicamentos inmunosupresores, pueden evitar viajar a regiones donde se encuentra este hongo, si desean minimizar el riesgo de desarrollar este trastorno crónico poco común.
