PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS 

Pathogenesis refers both to the mechanism of infection and to the mechanism by which disease develops. Coccidioides fungi are most commonly found in the soil and their spores are circulating in the air. From the air, the spores enter the lungs through the airway and spread to other organs. Coccidioidomycosis can spread directly by contact with an infected person. Coccidioidomycosis spread through equipment shared with the infected person.

COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS AND AYURVEDA

According to the Ayurveda, anyone who has developed an imbalance in “doshas,” and has thereby weakened their immune system, may be subject to a fungal infection which is considered a symptom of that imbalance. Coccidioidomycosis is managed based on jwara, kasa, swasa chikilsa.

NIDANA- AYURVEDIC CAUSES OF COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS 

  • Imbalance of doshas
  • Vitiation of dhatus
  • Reduced immunity -vyadhi kshamatwam
  • Agantu factors – infections

PURVAROOPAM- AYURVEDIC PREMONITORY SYMPTOMS OF COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS 

  • Fever – jwara

SAMPRAPTI – AYURVEDIC PATHOGENESIS OF COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS 

A healthy individual has a strong immune system and, therefore, it will be difficult for microbial infection to take hold. Balance in dosha, dhatu and agni provide a strong and well-functioning immune system capable of defending against microbial infection. Fungi invade the body when there is a defect in the immune system.

LAKSHANA- AYURVEDIC SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS 

  • Jwara – fever
  • Kasa – cough
  • Swasa – breathing difficulty
  • Shirasula – headache
  • Sandhi sula – joint pain
