Prognosis
Pulmonary coccidioidomycosis
Prognosis is very good for most patients with pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. Many patients have a period of significant fatigue following resolution of acute pulmonary symptoms, but most recover completely and without sequelae.[17]
Extrapulmonary coccidioidomycosis
The outlook for extrapulmonary coccidioidomycosis depends on the location and extent of infection, as well as the underlying immunity of the patient. Relapse is common.[5][54][55][57]
Patients with HIV
Lack of viral suppression and CD4 counts <250 cells/mm³ are associated with increased disease severity in patients with HIV.[23]
