  • Title: Simultaneous chronic pulmonary paracoccidiodomycosis and disseminated cryptococcosis in a non-HIV patient.
    Author: Santos JW, Silveira ML, Santos FP, Mathias AC, Bertolazi AN, Melo CR, Oliveira LO, Severo LC, Oliveira Fde M.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 2005 Apr; 159(3):373-6. PubMed ID: 15883721.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of chronic pulmonary paracoccidiodomycosis and disseminated cryptococcosis in a non-HIV infected patient is reported in a 72-year-old previously healthy man. A chest radiograph disclosed a bilateral diffused interstitial infiltrate involving middle and lower lung fields. Specimen samples taken from the tracheal tube revealed yeast-like organisms suggestive of Cryptococcus neoformans and Paracoccidiodes brasiliensis. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid culture was positive for C. neoformans and the immunodiffusion test against paracoccidiodin revealed a precipitation band. The patient died 24 days after the admission.
