Merry Christmas Eve-Eve! Though the Valley Fever infection started July
2005, Denise still has significant fatigue and a laundry list of issues
secondary to the disseminated cocci. In particular, fatigue and lots of
skin lesions even though she switched in 2020 from voriconazole (puts
her at increased risk of skin cancers) to fluconazole. The PDT
(photodynamic treatment) she started last year continued this year, but
doesn't seem to be helping much. Several sites frozen off, several
biopsied (all benign, so, yay!). I did not attend this year's Cocci
Study Group in Tucson AZ, and haven't been for several years. But
reading the agenda & abstracts, doesn't seem to be much going on
with a cure nor a vaccine.
