Overview

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. The typical patient is a man aged 30 to 50 years.[1] PCM affects men, more commonly than women. However, latent paracoccidioides infection can affect anyone.[2]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • It is difficult to establish the true prevalence and incidence of paracoccidioidomycosis because disease reporting is not always required.

Incidence

  • In endemic areas, the incidence of paracoccidioidomycosis is estimated to be 1-3 per 100,000 persons.[4]

Mortality

  • Paracoccidioidomycosis is associated with approximately 0.14 deaths per 100,000 population.[4]

Age

  • Paracoccidioidomycosis most commonly affects individuals 30 to 60 years old.[5]
  • It is rarely diagnosed in children (3%) and young adults (10%).[3]

Gender

  • Men are more commonly affected with paracoccidioidomycosis than women.
  • This is a result of the protection that estrogen imparts in women.[2]
  • The male to female ratio is approximately 13 to 1.[6][3]

Race

  • There is no racial predilection for paracoccidioidomycosis.[4]

Developed Countries

  • Cases have been reported in non-endemic areas among patients who have traveled or lived in Central or South America.[7]

Developing Countries

  • Paracoccidiodomycosis is an endemic disease that tends to affect agriculture workers in South and Central America, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina.[8]
  • No cases have been reported from Belize and Nicaragua in Central America, or from Chile, French Guiana, Guiana, and Suriname in South America.[8]
  • The countries with the greatest number of patients are: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.[7]
  • The greatest number of cases have been reported in Brazil (approximately 80%).[7]
