Evaluation of commercially available acridinium ester-labeled chemiluminescent DNA probes for culture identification of Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Histoplasma capsulatum. Coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever, is caused by inhalation of spores from Caccidioides immitis and Coccidioides pasadasii.
