Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common side effect of an allogeneic bone marrow transplant. An allogeneic transplant uses blood cells from a family member, unrelated donor or cord blood unit.
Nearly all vertebrate animals host one or more species of the protozoan parasites that produce the infection referred to as coccidiiasis or coccidiosis. Thousands of coccidian species of herbivorous, omnivorous, and carnivorous animals have been described, and many more exist that remain unnamed.
Therefore, Coccidioidomycosis may be divided into the following types: 1  Acute coccidioidomycosis, sometimes described in literature as primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. 2  Chronic coccidioidomycosis. 3  Disseminated coccidioidomycosis, which includes primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis.
