The donor had previously traveled to Mexico, and the recipient had no travel history to an area where Coccidioides immitis is endemic. Immunosuppressive therapy of the transplant recipient likely reactivated latent Coccidioides infection in the donor lungs, leading to posttransplant coccidioidomycosis.}, keywords = {Candidiasis / etiology, Coccidioides / isolation \& purification, Coccidioidomycosis / pathology / *transmission, Fatal Outcome, Humans, Immunosuppressive Agents / adverse effects, Lung Diseases, Fungal / pathology / transmission, Lung Transplantation / *adverse effects, Middle Aged, Tissue Donors}, issn = {0095-1137 (Print) 0095-1137 (Linking)}, author = {Miller,M.
