Skeletal coccidioidomycosis accounts for about half of disseminated infections, with the vertebral spine being the preferred site of dissemination. Most cases of skeletal coccidioidomycosis progress to bone destruction or spread to adjacent structures such as joints, tendons, and other soft tissues, causing significant pain and restricting mobility. Manifestations of such cases are usually nonspecific, making diagnosis very challenging, especially in non-endemic areas. The lack of basic knowledge and research data on the mechanisms defining susceptibility to extrapulmonary infection, especially when it involves bones and joints, prompted us to survey available clinical and animal data to establish specific research questions that remain to be investigated. In this review, we explore published literature reviews, case reports, and case series on the dissemination of coccidioidomycosis to bones and\/or joints. We highlight key differential features with other conditions and opportunities for mechanistic and basic research studies that can help develop novel diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof9101002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]],"date-time":"2023-10-11T02:20:52Z","timestamp":1696990852000},"page":"1002","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Coccidioidomycosis Osteoarticular Dissemination"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Benedicte M.","family":"Moni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biosciences and Biotechnology Division, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA 94550, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barton L.","family":"Wise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lawrence J.
