The Role of Gallium and Bone Scintigraphy in Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis

The osseous lesions of disseminated coccidioidomycosis may be detected by bone but not by gallium scintigraphy or vice versa. This case emphasizes the need for performing both bone and gallium scans to avoid missing potentially serious bone lesions.
