Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis, a rare fungal infection, can occur through direct inoculation. This case highlights its occurrence in an immunocompetent individual in a non-endemic region, emphasizing diagnostic and therapeutic considerations.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis is typically associated with laboratory or autopsy inoculation.
  • It can also arise from trauma in areas where Coccidioides fungus is endemic.

Observation:

  • A rare case of primary inoculation cutaneous coccidioidomycosis is presented.
  • The affected individual was an immunocompetent woman residing in a non-endemic geographic area.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the possibility of coccidioidomycosis infection in unexpected settings.
  • Review of clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for this unusual presentation.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of the geographic and clinical spectrum of cutaneous coccidioidomycosis.
