RESUMO
Conventional antifungal therapy was not successful for a critically ill patient who had been hospitalized for 137 days in the intensive care unit with disseminated Coccidioides immitis infection and respiratory failure. The addition of interferon- gamma to the therapeutic regimen resulted in improvement and discharge from the hospital. Adjunctive interferon- gamma used in the successful treatment of severe coccidioidomycosis has not been reported previously.
