Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We encountered two cases of maternal coccidioidomycosis with placental involvement. Altered cell-mediated immunity during pregnancy makes the diagnosis of desseminated coccidioidomycosis difficult by the routine serologic tests; placental examination provides specific information. A high index of suspicion regarding this disease and prompt institution of appropriate therapy are necessary in order to decrease maternal and neonatal mortality. |
