Abstract

We analyzed inpatient data from Texas, USA, to characterize hospitalizations for disseminated coccidioidomycosis and coccidioidal meningitis from 2016–2023. Geographic mapping revealed a substantial disease effect in both western Texas and metropolitan areas. Our findings suggest the need for enhanced surveillance and increased healthcare provider awareness regarding coccidioidomycosis in Texas.
