Primary Cutaneous Coccidioidomycosis: An Update.

Abstract:

:Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic mycosis of the southern United States, Northern Mexico, and South America. Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis, despite being a very rare clinical presentation, has shown an increasing incidence. An extensive literature search for cutaneous coccidioidomycosis cases was performed using the OLDMEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane, LILACS and Google Scholar databases for studies published from January 1927 through December 21, 2019. Forty-two observational studies were included totaling 82 cases of primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis. Narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were also included. Additionally, an original case was included. Patients with primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis share the same geographical and epidemiological characteristics as those with pulmonary or disseminated coccidioidomycosis. Most of the imported cases came from endemic areas. A large portion of cases had prior local skin trauma. Tissue culture is still the leading diagnostic method; nevertheless, molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are currently relevant to differentiate between species. First-line treatment consists of azoles; however, it has an excellent prognosis even without treatment. Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis should be considered a differential diagnosis of unusual infections or neoformations in any part of the body in resident populations of endemic areas or in patients with a previous history of travel to these areas.
