Overview
Primary infection is thought to be autolimited and almost asymptomatic as histoplasmosis or Valley Fever. In young people, there is a progressive form of the disease with high fever, generalized lymphadenopathy and pulmonary involvement with milliary lesions. This juvenile form has a more severe prognosis even with treatment. The most common form is the so called adult form of paracoccidioidomycosis that is almost certainly a reactivation of the disease. Chronic PCM has mainly pulmonary symptoms. [1]
History
Paracoccidioidomycosis has been reported as an autochthonous disease, that tends to affect agriculture workers from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Paracoccidioidomycosis is prevalent in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina, and is classically associated with individuals from rural areas. Travellers that have been to endemic areas are in risk of contracting PCM as well as the endemics areas population. [2]
