What Is Valley Fever?
4. What Are the Symptoms of a Mild Case?
Most cases of valley fever are acute cases. This is the mildest form of the illness, but there is a wide range of experience under what is considered a mild presentation. Some people are asymptomatic, while others experience acute coccidioidomycosis with severe flu-like symptoms.
The usual symptoms are fever, chills, night sweats, cough, headache, fatigue and joint pain. These are often accompanied by a red rash that may turn brown later. The rash typically appears on the lower legs but can also sometimes be found on the back or chest.
