Disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis
Paracoccidioidomicose disseminada
CategoryDefinition
Chronic paracoccidoidomycosis involving more than one organ or system. The lungs are affected in the majority of cases, with dry cough and dyspnoea the most frequent presenting symptoms. Mucosal involvement occurs in 30-50% of cases: the mouth (oropharynx, lips, tongue, gingiva, palate) and larynx are the most frequently affected sites. Skin lesions may be represented by a large variety of patterns including papules, nodules, ulcers and verrucous plaques. Adrenal involvement is frequently found and may result in acute or chronic hypoadrenalism. Central nervous system invasion occurs in up to 20% of patients, mostly commonly as an expanding granulomatous mass.
