Wollina U, Hansel G, Vennewald I, Schönlebe J, Tintelnot K, Seibold M, Kittner T (2008): Successful treatment of relapsing disseminated coccidioidomycosis with cutaneous involvement with posaconazole
J. Dtsch. Dermatol. Ges.: Epub Aug 26.

A 52-year-old woman with pulmonary sarcoidosis on immunosuppressive therapy developed pulmonary infiltrates and cutaneous granulomatous abscesses after a trip to the USA in April 2005. A hyphomycete was identified, further characterized by a gene probe as Coccidioides spp. and then definitively identified as Coccidioides posadasii by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Antibodies towards Coccidioides spp. were detected. The infection was successfully treated with posaconazole (Noxafil^®), 2 x 400 mg/d.
