Abstract
Type 2 inflammatory responses are associated with worse prognosis in coccidioidomycosis. It is unclear whether patients with preexisting type 2 inflammation and atopic disorders are predisposed to disseminated coccidioidomycosis. A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients with disseminated coccidioidomycosis revealed no significant difference in the history of atopic disorders or eosinophilia as compared to those with isolated pulmonary disease. Tissue-specific type 2 responses may still play a role in coccidioidomycosis immune dysregulation, and further investigation is needed.
