Extra-pulmonary manifestations of paracoccidioidomycosis associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a case report

Abstract: We present a patient with Paracoccidioidomycosis/HIV coinfection which has been investigated because of chronic monoarthritis and mucocutaneous lesions. A biopsy of the synovial membrane and skin revealed structures consistent with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. At diagnosis, the count of CD4 + T cells was 44 cells/mm3. We emphasize the importance of clinical suspicion of Paracoccidioidomycosis in patients with HIV/AIDS who live in or are from risk areas.

“…Taken from the literature, we compiled data for 178 coinfected patients of whom 79 were reviewed by others, 12 four case studies which included 10, 12, five, and 53 patients, respectively, [13][14][15]18 with the remaining being isolated case reports. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] There was large variability in the quality and precision of the clinical data in some of these reports due to the focus of the publication. Studies were often restricted to a particular anatomical site, specific clinical presentation, or PCM organ involvement.…”

“…Relatamos um caso exuberante de paracoccidioidomicose em um paciente imunocompetente, sem evidências de exposição ambiental ou ocupacional ao agente etiológico, contrastando com a maioria dos casos descritos na literatura, que relata maior frequência em pessoas da zona rural e maior agressividade da doença em imunossuprimidos. 2,3,6 O Paracoccidioides spp. apresenta duas espécies principais: P. brasiliensis e P. lutzii, que causam infecção pulmonar benigna.…”

“…A sorologia é importante para o seguimento do paciente. [1][2][3] Felizmente, o P. brasiliensis é sensível a maior parte dos antifúngicos, ao contrário de outras espécies patogênicas, sendo o itraconazol a droga mais recomendada. Quando não disponível, sugere-se sulfametoxazol mais trimetoprim.…”
