Summary
This study looks at people with severe or hard-to-treat Valley Fever, a lung infection caused by a fungus found in the southwestern U.S. and parts of the Americas. Researchers want to understand why some people get very sick by studying their immune systems, genetics, and the fungus itself. Up to 400 people aged 2 and older with this condition will provide blood, urine, and sputum samples and have yearly check-ups. The goal is to gather information to improve future treatments, not to test a new drug or cure.
