Case report demonstrates bone scintigraphy detecting fungemia in Coccidioides infection, indicating effective antifungal therapy.
Although extrapulmonary Coccidioides infection is rare, it has been shown to disseminate to the skin and musculoskeletal system, with a strong affinity for bone. We present a case of disseminated Coccidioides infection with bone scintigraphy indicating diffuse fungemia despite equivocal serum assay, leading to appropriate antifungal therapy and a full recovery.
