Overview

Paracoccidioidomycosis (also known as Lutz-Splendore-Almeida disease or Brazilian blastomycosis) is a mycosis caused by the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Sometimes called South American blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis is caused by a different fungus than that which causes blastomycosis.
