Overview
Common risk factors in the development of paracoccidioidomycosis disease are: age, gender, poor hygiene, occupation, malnutrition, tabacco and alcohol consumption. [1] [2]
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of paracoccidioidomycosis disease are: "Poor hygiene, malnutrition, smoking, and alcohol consumption". [1] "Among other triggering factors, smoking and alcohol addiction have long been associated with the disease. A smoking habit is more likely to influence and/or facilitate the development of this infection due to some possible factors such as change of the mucociliary activity, diminishing of immunity and defects of immunological response of macrophages. In relation to alcohol addiction, it is thought that this drug is a risk cofactor associated with smoking." [2]
