This study highlights six osteomyelitis cases caused by Coccidioides immitis. Combining bone and gallium imaging is crucial for detecting these challenging osseous coccidioidal lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection.
  • Coccidioides immitis can cause deep fungal infections, including bone involvement.
  • Diagnosing osseous coccidioidomycosis can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present cases of osteomyelitis caused by Coccidioides immitis.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic utility of combined imaging modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of six patient cases with Coccidioides immitis osteomyelitis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic imaging, including bone scans and gallium scans.

Main Results:

  • Six cases of Coccidioides immitis osteomyelitis were identified.

  • Combined bone and gallium imaging improved the detection of osseous lesions.
  • Gallium imaging showed increased uptake in affected bone areas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Coccidioides immitis is an important cause of osteomyelitis in endemic areas.
    • Integrated bone and gallium imaging strategies are vital for accurate diagnosis.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis can guide appropriate treatment for fungal osteomyelitis.
