What Causes Cold Extremities While Suffering From Valley Fever?
My husband has a severe case of valley fever he is of Hispanic heritage. He spent 15 days in their hospital. As you know the medication is almost as bad as the disease. I have noticed for the last couple of weeks that his extremities are very cold. We are certain that the fungus has disseminated to his joints shoulders knees etc. Is there a reason in his case for the cold extremities?

Hello,
We have to rule out possible causes like vasculitis and peripheral occlusive disorder.
Consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
