“…It was suggested by the diagnosis of patients who lived and worked in rural areas but presented the disease many years after moving to urban areas, working in jobs with no risk for paracoccidioidal infection. Nevertheless, it was confirmed by patients diagnosed many years after migrating from Latin America to countries where PCM does not exist [ 47 ]. This long latency period indicates that the residence origin of the patient at diagnosis did not necessarily coincide with the place where the infection was actually acquired.…”

The incidence of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) varies in Latin America, and it is influenced by environmental factors. This study evaluated the distribution of PCM acute/subacute form (AF) cases and their correlation with geoclimatic factors in the Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) state. The study included 81 patients diagnosed with the PCM/AF at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul between January 1980 and February 2022. Geographic coordinates, health microregion of patient’s residence, compensated average temperature, relative air humidity (RH), El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and average global temperature were analyzed. The highest incidence was observed in the Aquidauana (7/100,000 inhabitants), while Campo Grande, the state’s capital, had the highest number (n = 34; 42.4%) and density (4.4 cases/km2) of cases. The number of cases increased during extended periods of the El Niño phenomenon. A positive correlation was found between higher RH and PCM/AF cases. Most PCM/AF cases were found in areas with loamy soils and RH ranging from 60.8 to 73.6%. In MS, the health microregions of PCM/AF patients are characterized by deforestation for agricultural and pasture use, coupled with loamy soils and specific climatic phenomena leading to higher soil humidity.

“…South American blastomycosis (SAB) is a system infection with the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis endemic in many of the rural areas of Latin America [1, 2], A few cases have been reported in Europe [3][4][5] and the USA [6] in individuals originally exposed in South America. Al though a variety of clinical symptoms have been observed, pulmonary le sions often predominate, with or without clinically-apparent oral and cervical lymph node involvement.…”

A patient with far-advanced oral, lymph node and pulmonary infection with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis was treated with amphotericin B because of hypersensitivity to sulfonamides. Oral lesions dis- sappeared with minimal scarring. Initially spectacular radiographic infiltration improved markedly. Minimal physiologic abnormalities remained unchanged.With increasing population mobility, South American blastomycosis is likely to be found more often in non-endemic areas. Clinical features, fungal characteristics and therapy are discussed
