Paracoccidioidal Granulomatosis of the Brain
Archives of Neurology, 1983A patient with South American blastomycosis (paracoccidioidomycosis) was studied using computed tomography (CT), which showed six granulomas in the brain. The patient was treated with amphotericin B and observed by repeated CT scans. Two of the lesions disappeared completely after the first cycle of treatment, and residual images, probably representing

Ornithine decarboxylase in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Archives of Microbiology, 1996Ornithine decarboxylase in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a dimorphic human pathogenic fungus, was more active at 37 degrees C in the yeast phase and at 30 degrees C in the mycelial phase. In contrast to other fungal systems, yeast growth and mycelium-to-yeast transition in P.

The pathobiology of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Trends in Microbiology, 2002Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes one of the most prevalent systemic mycoses in Latin America--paracoccidioidomycosis. It is a dimorphic fungus that undergoes a complex transformation in vivo, with mycelia in the environment producing conidia, which probably act as infectious propagules upon inhalation into the lungs, where they transform to the ...

Aleuriospores of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Mycopathologia, 1971In soil extract agar and in Bennett medium abundant aleuriospores ofParacoccidioides brasiliensis have been observed. The possibility that these spores could be the infecting elements for man is discussed.

Isoenzyme profile ofParacoccidioides brasiliensis
Medical Mycology, 1995Isoenzyme profiles of 10 strains of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from different origins (nine strains from patients with different clinical forms of paracoccidioidomycosis and one from the faeces of a penguin) were determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using 37 different enzymes.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is found only in Latin America. It is endemic in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Most cases (80%) have been reported from Brazil, followed by Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina. Most cases occur in tropical and subtropical forests, where temperatures are mild and humidity is high ...

Blastomyces (Paracoccidioides) brasiliensis in Africa
Nature, 1964SINCE the discovery of “South American Blastomycosis” by Adolfo Lutz in 1908, it has been generally accepted that the disease is confined to South America. The few cases reported outside this region are of patients who lived for years in South American countries and probably contracted the “Lutz disease” there1–8.

Cytosolic Neutral Proteinases of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Current Microbiology, 1998Cytosolic proteinases were assayed in both morphological phases of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Preparations from the mycelial phase were more active in vitro than those from the yeast cells. Optimal proteinase activities for both phases occurred at pH's between 6.0 and 9.0, and at 45 degrees C.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Paracoccidioidomycosis, and Antifungal Antibiotics
Current Drug Target -Infectious Disorders, 2005Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a human systemic, chronic and progressive mycosis. Preferred antifungals are sulfamethoxazol-trimethoprim, itraconazole, amphotericin B. Treatment is lengthy, the drugs may have undesirable side effects, and some are costly.
