Coccidioides immitis osteomyelitis of the mandible in an infant. 1977

O F Sieber, and W Larter, and P J Smith, and P Crowe, and M Pitt

Coccidioidomycotic osteomyelitis developed at the angle of the right side of the mandible in a 5-month-old Papago infant. The disease was successfully treated with a combination of amphotericin B, surgery, and transfer factor with complete immunological, microbiological, and radiological cure. At 4 years of age, the only residual effect is prominence of the right hemimandible with asymmetry of the jaw.
