Yes: How well you do depends on the form of the disease you have and your overall health. The outcome in acute disease is likely to be good. With treatment, the outcome is usually also good for chronic or severe disease (although relapses may occur). Source: www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001322.Htm.

See below: Valley fever or coccidiodomycosis can cause recurrent infections, can relapse, and can disseminate. Cocci immunodiffusion (igm) antibody and complement fixation (igg) antibody can help determine the activity of the disease. Get checked out by an infectious disease or pulmonary specialist.
