Résumé
Locus minoris resistentiae refers to decreased resistance in any internal organ or external body region, leaving it more vulnerable to disease processes than other regions. These changes, either congenital or acquired, alter the defense capacity. The concept of locus minoris resistentiae is widely accepted in the medical field and presents itself across specialties. Antecedent trauma is a known risk factor for hematogenous dissemination of infection; this also applies to coccidioidal species. In this article, we describe 2 patients who suffered from pulmonary coccidioidomycosis with subsequent trauma resulting in osseous dissemination to the site of injury.
