Overview
Paracoccidioidomycosis may be classified based on the onset and duration of symptoms. Paracoccidioidomycosis may be classified into: acute, subacute or chronic. The chronic form can be further subclassified into: unifocal and multifocal.[1][2]
Classification
- Latent paracoccidioides infection
- Patients have no clinical manifestations. Positive reaction to the paracoccidioidin skin test. [3]
- Paracoccidioides disease
- Acute form (Juvenile)
- Usually affects patients under 35 years. [3]
- Chronic form (Adult)
- Acute form (Juvenile)
- Residual form (Sequela)
- Most frequently, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease. [3][2]
