Valley fever is an infection caused by the fungus Coccidioides. The scientific name for valley fever is “coccidioidomycosis,” and it’s also sometimes called “San Joaquin Valley fever” or “desert rheumatism.” The term “valley fever” usually refers to Coccidioides infection in the lungs, but the infection can spread to other parts of the body in severe cases (this is called “disseminated coccidioidomycosis”).

My next door neighbor in PHX. had this. People with bronchial conditions are highly susceptible. Can be serious and life threatening. Be sure and stay indoors during Haboobs (desert wind storms).
