William A. Winn. Winn was a personal friend of Charles Smith. He received his MD from Harvard after obtaining his undergraduate degree at Stanford. From 1935 to 1966, Winn was the Medical Director of the Springville County Hospital, which had been founded as the Tulare County and Kings County Joint Tuberculosis Sanitarium in 1918. Both Einstein and Winn realized that many patients they encountered who had received a diagnosis of tuberculosis had, instead, coccidioidomycosis. Winn delineated many of the clinical aspects of coccidioidomycosis and the appropriate use of amphotericin B, including its intrathecal administration for the treatment of coccidioidal meningitis. He was born on September 22, 1903, in Butte, Montana and died in 1967. Courtesy of William R. Winn. This Figure is reproduced in color in the online version of Medical Mycology.
