Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever, is an infectious disease caused by the fungus Coccidioides. It is most commonly found in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. Symptoms of the disease can range from mild to severe, and can include fever, cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis of Coccidioidomycosis is typically done through a combination of physical examination, imaging tests, and laboratory tests.
The Coccidioidomycosis market is a subset of the larger Infectious Disease Testing market. It is composed of diagnostic tests, such as serology, antigen detection, and molecular tests, that are used to detect the presence of Coccidioides in a patient. These tests are used to diagnose the disease, as well as to monitor the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment.
Some companies in the Coccidioidomycosis market include Bio-Rad Laboratories, GenMark Diagnostics, and Quest Diagnostics. Show Less Read more
