Need labs: Did you get the nodule biopsied? What kind of nodule, what symptoms and at the same time r/o active valley fever.

Recurrent Valley Fev: The url: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/print/valley-fever/ds00695/dsection=all;method=print from the mayo clinic is an excellent resource to review. If you have recurrent vf, tests in addition to imaging procedures will be needed to confirm the diagnosis since empiric therapy is not indicated. You need to see your doctor. It might require consultation with an infectious disease physician. Good luck.

See below: A chest x-ray and cocci id and complement fixation antibody test would be the best initial screen to see if your cocci has relapsed.
