Varieties of coccidioidal infection in relation to the epidemiology and control of the diseases.
Abstract
Varieties of Coccidioidal Infection in Relation to the Epidemiology and Control of the Diseases Charles Edward Smith, and Rodney R. Beard CopyRight*From the Commission on Epidemiological Survey of the Board for the Investigation of Epidemic Diseases, Preventive Medicine Services, Office of the Surgeon General. The special studies on coccidioidomycosis have been conducted in the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine with the first five months of the study supported by a grant from the Rosenberg Foundation. The coöperative nature of the study was indicated in a previous paper10 in which appreciation was expressed to Dr. Francis G. Blake, Generals S. Bayne-Jones, and Charles R. Glenn; Colonels Bloyce A. Britton, J. R. Copenhaver, Robert E. Estill, M. G. Healy, A. L. Jennings, Neill Johnson, Russel V. Lee, Edward H. Padden, Albert Phillips, M. V. Prescott, John Roberts, Otis B. Schreuder, D. D. Todorovich; Lieutenant Colonels E. C. Donohoe, A. F. Dorner, Richard D. Evans, Ian B. Hamilton, J. Murray Kinsman, Harris D. Loe, Russell W. Mapes, P. M. Pederson, Benjamin Siebenthal, Roger E. Weismann; Majors Maurice P. Foley, Clarence J. Keefe, Edward J. Hall, Robert G. McCurdy, David L. Thurman, Harry E. Thompson, Harvey A. Woods; Chief Warrant Officer Melburn Biddulph; Lieutenants Wilburt M. Fitzpatrick, and George Schroeder; Master Sergeant Howard Sehlin; Sergeants C. O. Castledine, and Robert A. Kunde. In addition there were a very large number of others, Commandants, Ward Officers, Executive Officers, and commissioned and enlisted personnel, without whose whole-hearted coöperation these studies would have been impossible. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.36.12.1394 Published Online: August 29, 2011

Erythema nodosum is an immunological response to coccidioidomycosis that is thought to be protective against the infection.
“Also, black or African American individuals with coccidioidomycosis were found to have lower rates compared to white individuals of erythema nodosum, which is an immunological response to the infection that is thought to be protective against coccidioidomycosis [159,160]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
