Erythema Nodosum and a Cavitary Lung Lesion in a Febrile Returned Traveler from Arizona: a Case of Coccidioidomycosis

AbstractCoccidioidomycosis incidence has been increasing recently in endemic regions. The disease can manifest with variable pulmonary and cutaneous presentations, challenging the clinical diagnosis.
