Valley fever, also known as coccidioidomycosis, is a fungal infection caused by Coccidioides, which grows in the soil of the Southwestern US, parts of Washington state, and Central and South America. In most cases, it causes mild or no symptoms, and often clears up on its own. However, in rare cases it can lead to persistent lung problems or more serious illness, requiring medical treatment to manage the complications.
