AbstractA 33 year-old man developed coccidioidomycosis which resulted in pericarditis associated with congestive heart failure. A pericardial effusion developed and progressed to constrictive pericarditis. A pericardiectomy was performed and revealed that the pericarditis was due to Coccidioides immitis. The patient died after surgery. This is the second case of coccidioidomycosis with pericarditis reported in Mexico's literature.
