Sumario:A 65-year-old immunocompromised woman presented with progressive dyspnea and sacroiliac joint pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed abnormal right ventricular filling with septal bounce and abnormal pericardial enhancement, suggestive of constrictive pericarditis. Cultures from pericardium following pericardiectomy grew Coccidioides immitis. She was diagnosed with coccidioidomycosis and responded to pericardiectomy and amphotericin. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
