Pulmonary Paracoccidioidomycosis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Paracoccidioidomycosis (formerly known as South American blastomycosis) is produced by the thermally dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Most often this mycosis runs a chronic progressive course affecting preferentially the lungs followed by the skin, mucous membranes, adrenals, and reticuloendothelial organs.

Novel 4-methoxynaphthalene-N-acylhydrazones as potential for paracoccidioidomycosis and tuberculosis co-infection.

Future Microbiology, 2019
Aim: 17 new 4-methoxynaphthalene-N-acylhydrazones were synthesized in order to evaluate their biological action against important pathogens. Methods: In vitro susceptibility assays of compounds were performed against Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and ...

Cutaneous primary paracoccidioidomycosis

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2000
AbstractParacoccidioidomycosis is a common fungal infection in Latin America. Few cases have been described in non‐endemic countries and their diagnosis without the correct suspicion, bearing in mind that the latency period might be up to 60 years, may not be easy.We report the case of a 59‐year‐old man who worked as a taxi driver for 25 years in ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis

2010
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by dimorphic fungus of the complex Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, which is found in soil and in a variety of animals, and transmitted to humans by inhalation. It is restricted geographically to Central and South America, where it is the commonest endemic chronic human mycosis, acquired in rural and ...

Clinical and microbiological characteristics of paracoccidioidomycosis in patients with AIDS in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Medical Mycology, 2019
Paracoccidioidomycosis (Pm) is a systemic disease, endemic in the American continent. There are two different clinical forms, the infant-juvenile or subacute form (PmS) and the chronic adult form (PmC).

Gastrointestinal Paracoccidioidomycosis

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2011
Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most prevalent mycosis in Latin America. Although the lungs are the primary site of infection, physicians often see patients because of disseminated disease. Imported paracoccidioidomycosis has been described in different regions of the world in patients who lived in endemic areas.
