Valley Fever

I'm not sure if this is just an Arizona thing or Southwest thing but in Phoenix we have what is called Valley Fever. Its spores that are in our dirt that we can breath in and its from what I've read, not great at all if someone with CF gets it.

Well....my sister got it. She has CF and recently in the hospital was diagnosed with malnutrition. She's so skinny its scarry. She was weak to begin with and had low FEV 1 so upon getting this "Valley Fever" I'm super worried about her.

My question, and I don't even know if I wanna ask it is: Has anyone of you known someone with CF that has gotten Valley Fever or have you yourself ever got it and successfully gotten rid of it?

I'm so afraid this is it for her. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Laura

Laura, I did some research and couldn't find anything much about the specifics of it with CF.

Other than some pretty un-nice impacts on those with compromised pulmo & immune systems <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Just wanted to let you know that we are all praying for your family. ((((HUGS))))

Not much help either -- but my noncfer sibling got it several years ago -- had lost a lot of weight as well, was exhausted. She DID recover and is fine today.
