Abstract: Paracoccidioidomycosis (South American blastomycosis) is a systemic infection caused by a dimorphic fungus (Paracoccidioides brasiliensis).
Some limitations occur, including the need for 2 to 6 weeks for antibody production after infection, impaired production of antibodies in immunosuppressed patients, and presence of cross-reaction mainly due to paracoccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, and aspergillosis (9).
3,4) Paracoccidioidomycosis extends to mucous membranes, where it produces ulcerative lesions, and it is caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a 10- to 30-[micro]m thick-walled spherical yeast with multiple buds with narrow neck (pilot wheel).
