According to CDC data, reported valley fever cases in the US increased by 32 percent between 2016 and 2018. One study determined that cases in California rose 800 percent between 2000 and 2018.
When I read such figures, I often wonder if it's because the number of cases has increased or because diagnostics / education of doctors have improved. According to the article, the first doctor didn't grasp what the boy had. He had to go and see a specialist to be correctly diagnosed.
