Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptococcus gattii in the United States: Clinical Aspects of Infection With an Emerging Pathogen
Julie R. Harris,Shawn R. Lockhart,Emilio DeBess,Nicola Marsden-Haug,Marcia Goldoft,Ron Wohrle,Sang Joon Lee,Chad Smelser,Benjamin Park,Tom Chiller +9 more
TL;DR: Clinicians should have a low threshold for testing for Cg, particularly among patients with recent travel to the PNW, and clinical differences may exist between outbreak-strains VGIIa, VGIIb, and VGIIc and nonoutbreak-strain Cg infections in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valley Fever: Finding New Places for an Old Disease: Coccidioides immitis Found in Washington State Soil Associated With Recent Human Infection
Anastasia P. Litvintseva,Nicola Marsden-Haug,Steven F. Hurst,Heather Hill,Lalitha Gade,Elizabeth M. Driebe,Cindy Ralston,Chandler C. Roe,Bridget M. Barker,Marcia Goldoft,Paul Keim,Ron Wohrle,George Richard Thompson,David M. Engelthaler,Mary E. Brandt,Tom Chiller +15 more
TL;DR: Real-time polymerase chain reaction and culture are used to demonstrate persistent colonization of soils by Coccidioides immitis, an agent of valley fever, in Washington State linked to recent human infections and located outside the endemic range.
Journal Article
Emergence of Cryptococcus gattii - Pacific Northwest, 2004-2010.
Emilio DeBess,Paul R Cieslak,Nicola Marsden-Haug,Marcia Goldoft,Ron Wohrle,C. Free,E. Dykstra,Randall J. Nett,Tom Chiller,Shawn R. Lockhart,Julie R. Harris +10 more
TL;DR: Physicians should consider C. gattii as a possible etiology of a cryptococcal infection among persons living in ortraveling to the Pacific Northwest or traveling to other C.gattii--endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coccidioidomycosis acquired in Washington State.
Nicola Marsden-Haug,Marcia Goldoft,Cindy Ralston,Ajit P. Limaye,Jimmy Chua,Heather Hill,Larry Jecha,George Richard Thompson,Tom Chiller +8 more
TL;DR: Clinical, laboratory, and epidemiologic evidence suggest that 3 individuals with acute coccidioidomycosis were exposed in Washington State, significantly beyond previously identified endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence and Persistence of Coxiella burnetii in the Environments of Goat Farms Associated with a Q Fever Outbreak
Gilbert J. Kersh,Kelly A. Fitzpatrick,Joshua S. Self,Rachael A. Priestley,Aubree J. Kelly,R. Ryan Lash,Nicola Marsden-Haug,Randall J. Nett,Adam Bjork,Robert F. Massung,Alicia D. Anderson +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the highest concentrations of environmental C. burnetii are found in goat birthing areas and that contamination of other areas is mostly associated with human movement.
