“…Although these 2 genus do not exist in China, other mammal animals may be alternatives, which is supported by the facts that Coccidioides has a low host specificity. It has been isolated from a variety of mammalians, 44 birds 45 and reptiles 46,47. Also, we have considered the possibility of Coccidioides transported by fomites in rare cases.…”

We report a case of imported pulmonary coccidioidomycosis caused by Coccidioides posadasii in a patient who was misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and mistreated with antituberculosis medications for 18 months. The symptoms were not relieved until antifungal treatment was started. An extensive review of the coccidioidomycosis cases occurring in China reveals 38 cases, 16 of which had no associated history of travel to any traditional endemic areas. We speculate that some factors may drive Coccidioides spp. transference to China, which then causes those domestic infections. Moreover, we indicate the first, to the best of our knowledge, possible endemic areas in China.
