ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence and spectrum of abdominal computed tomography imaging
findings in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis.Materials and MethodsRetrospective analysis of abdominal computed tomography images of 26 patients with
disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis.ResultsAbnormal abdominal tomographic findings were observed in 18 patients (69.2%),
while no significant finding was observed in the other 8 (30.8%) patients.ConclusionComputed tomography has demonstrated to play a relevant role in the screening and
detection of abdominal abnormalities in patients with disseminated
paracoccidioidomycosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
