TY - JOUR AU - Flaherman, Valerie J. AU - Hector, Richard AU - Rutherford, George W. T1 - Estimating Severe Coccidioidomycosis in California T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 7 SP - 1087 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We used hospital discharge data to estimate incidence and distribution of coccidioidomycosis-associated hospitalizations in California. For 1997–2002, the average annual rate of hospitalization was 3.67 per 100,000 population. County of residence, older age, black race, male sex, HIV infection, and pregnancy were strongly associated with increased risk for hospitalization.
