TI  - Deep solitary brain mass in a four-month-old male with disseminated 
      coccidioidomycosis: case report.
PG  - 385-94
AB  - Parenchymal brain involvement from disseminated coccidioidomycosis occurs rarely 
      and there are few documented pediatric cases. We report a four-month-old male 
      infant with a cerebellar lesion seen in the brain on computed tomography (CT). 
      Coccidioides immitis (C. immitis) grew on bronchoscopic fluid samples and serum 
      titers to C. immitis were 1:1024. Antifungal treatment was initiated and after 3 
      months, CT scans demonstrated brain mass resolution and serum titers were 
      decreased.
