Overview
Patients with acute paracoccidioidomycosis usually have an ill appearing. Chronic PMC patients can appear healthy at early stages. Physical examination of patients with juvenile PMC is usually remarkable for lymph node swelling, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly. The presence of pulmonary abnormalities and skin lesions on physical examination is suggestive of adult PMC.[1]
