Hans E. Einstein, MD stood as the foremost authority on Coccidioidomycosis (also known as Valley fever) during the span of his career as a physician.
Valley fever meningitis, caused by the dissemination of Valley fever spores throughout the body, was 100 percent fatal when Dr. Einstein first began treating the disease in 1951. When he completed his last study near the end of his career in 2012, it had a survival rate of 85 percent. Dr. Einstein along with many other physicians are responsible for this great success.
Authors Thygerson and Wisnoff have grown up in the epicenter of Valley fever. Their shared interest in science, medicine, and history led them to spend countless hours researching, writing, conducting interviews, and compiling information about Valley fever. Dedicated to the impactful legacy of Dr. Hans E. Einstein, this book details his monumental contributions in treating the disease.
