Coccidioidomycosis, informally known as Valley fever, is caused when you’re exposed to the fungal spores that cause this disease. But no matter what Valley fever is referred to as, its range of symptoms need high-quality care. That’s what we offer with our highly collaborative and advanced Valley fever treatment center. Under Banner Health’s academic medicine system, we’re trying to end this disease.
The Valley Fever Center at Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix and Banner - University Medical Center Tucson was established as a collaboration between Banner Health and the University of Arizona to improve the care of patients with Coccidioidomycosis, the fungal respiratory disease more commonly known as Valley fever, San Jaoquin Valley Fever, or desert rheumatism.
In 1996, the Arizona Board of Regents accepted Valley Fever Center Director Dr. John Galgiani's proposal to establish the Valley Fever Center for Excellence at the University of Arizona.
The Valley Fever Center for Excellence and the Valley Fever Center at Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix have the same mission. Our experts pledge to spread information about Valley fever while helping patients with severe complications of this disease and to encourage research into the biology and diseases of the origin of Valley fever.
The Center also maintains awebsite并回答来自亚利桑那州，美国其他地区甚至其他国家的医疗保健专业人员的询问。由于亚利桑那州拥有直接位于流行地区谷热的唯一的医学院，因此亚利桑那州领导解决这一问题是很合适的
The Valley Fever Corridor Project, begun in 2009, intends to facilitate communication among Arizona clinicians to also improve patient care. Research is increasing into the environmental biology of the fungus within its desert soil habitat as well as how the fungus causes disease and the body's immunity controls it.
By researching its effects throughout the state of Arizona (where it is most prevalent), the Valley Fever Center is making headway in treating this disease as we work toward discovering a vaccine and cure.
