Description:Although systemic fungal diseases are generally not reportable, 1,134 cases of five different mycotic diseases were optionally reported from 23 states during 1967 (Table I). Coccidioidomycosis led in reported cases with 859 in 7 states, 596 in Arizona and 252 in California. Histoplasmosis was reported from 18 states with 206 cases. The central states accounted for the majority of these cases, according to the Annual 1967 Summary of the NCDC Morbidity and Mortality Report. For 1966, Cryptococcosis led the list of reported deaths due to systemic fungal diseases with a total of 90, histoplasmosis was second with 60, and coccidioidomycosis was third with 45 (Table II).
