My mother contracted coccidioidal meningitis (CM) [1] around 1991, perhaps because her immune system was weakened from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Apparently fluconazole was not widely used at this point, and they treated her with Amphotericin B via intrathecal delivery, but the treatment was unsuccessful and she died. Apparently treatment is now more successful.
