Overview

Paracoccidioidomycosis may be classified according to Franco et al. in 1987 into: paracoccidioidomycosis infection, paracoccidioidomycosis disease, paracoccidioidomycosis associated with inmunosupression and residual form (Sequela). Based on the duration of symptoms, paracoccidioidomycosis disease may be classified into: acute, subacute or chronic. The chronic form can be subclassified into: unifocal and multifocal.[1][2]

    • Chronic form
      • Unifocal
        • Mild
        • Moderate
        • Severe
      • Multifocal
        • Mild
        • Moderate
        • Severe
  • Paracoccidioidomycosis associated with immunosupresion
