Abstract | OBJECTIVE: MATERIAL AND METHODS: The prevalence of skin reactivity to coccidioidin in a population sample of 1651 subjects in a coccidioidomycosis endemic zone was estimated using a transversal design. Subjects with diabetes mellitus were identified and the diagnosis was validated by clinical and laboratory criteria. In order to determine the reactivity association level with the diabetes mellitus history, data was compared with the population sample, through logistic regression analysis adjusted by age, sex and residence geographical area. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were obtained. RESULTS: In the population study, there were 665 coccidioidin positive subjects (40.28% rate). Seventy six cases with diabetes mellitus were identified, 23 were positive to the test (30.26% rate) with an odds ratio of 0.63 for this group (95% CI 0.37-1.07). The OR decrease to 0.52 (95% CI 0.31-0.88, p = 0.014) with the adjusted logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION:
