  • Title: [Pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis: a case report with high-resolution computed tomography findings].
    Author: Armas M, Ruivo C, Alves R, Gonçalves M, Teixeira L.
    Journal: Rev Port Pneumol; 2012; 18(4):190-3. PubMed ID: 22445256.
    Abstract:
    Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis which is endemic in rural areas of Latin America, an important European source of immigrants and a growing European touristic destination as well, with most cases occurring in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia. The authors report a case of a 43 year old man who previously worked in Venezuela and is living in Portugal for 8 years, presenting with a single cutaneous lesion. Despite the absence of valuable respiratory complaints, severe lung damage was found with high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Biopsy of the cutaneous lesion and mycologic sputum examination were performed revealing Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection.
