Tóm tắt

BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma and coccidioidomycosis has not been fully described. We have hypothesised that Coccidioides could trigger inflammatory airway responses, similar to other fungi. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the frequency of new-onset asthma-related symptoms after coccidioidomycosis and identify potentially associated factors. PATIENTS/METHODS: We used a large health insurance claims database to identify patients with coccidiomycosis with and without an asthma diagnosis code or a short-acting β RESULTS: Thirteen per cent of 1657 patients with an asthma diagnosis code or a short-acting β CONCLUSIONS: Increased healthcare provider awareness of asthma as a potential coccidioidomycosis complication could benefit patients, especially female patients and patients with severe pulmonary infection.
