Paracoccidioidomycosis Package - Book at an Affordable Price

Paracoccidioidomycosis(South American blastomycosis) is a systematic fungal infection. It is produced by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. This fungal infection is endemic in certain areas of Central and South America, primarily in rural areas with tropical or subtropical climates.

The infection can manifest as an acute or chronic form, with the latter being more common. Symptoms of the chronic form typically develop slowly over several months or years and may include cough, fever, weight loss, skin lesions, and swollen lymph nodes. The acute form of the infection is less common but can be more severe, with symptoms including high fever, difficulty breathing, and rapid heartbeat.

The diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis can be challenging, as its symptoms can resemble those of other diseases. A definitive diagnosis is made by identifying the fungus in a tissue biopsy or by detecting antibodies to the fungus in the blood.
