Coccidioidomycosis in New York, 1989–1997. The figure on the left highlights coccidioidomycosis-endemic areas in the United States (adapted from Kirkland TN, Fierer [2]). The figure on the right depicts New York countywide distribution of 150 out of 161 patients in the discharge records (1992–1997); the highlighted numbers show counties from which 45 of the 49 Coccidioides immitis cultures were referred to the state mycology laboratory (1989–1997).
