“…A single case of involvement of the testicles has been reported [14]. Similar lesions have been identified in dolphins and are now considered to be caused by a different fungus, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis var cetii [14,16,20].…”

Purpose of review to review recent advances in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of deep fungal infections Recent findingsMycetoma and chromoblastomycosis are the only deep fungal infections incorporated in the list of neglected tropical diseases. These infections start in the skin but progress to deep tissues if not recognized early. A wide array of fungal pathogens are the causative agents. Molecular methods allow for early and accurate identification of the pathogens, but are unfortunately not available in endemic areas. Treatment options are mostly based upon clinical experience rather than on well-designed clinical trials Summary Deep fungal infections of the skin and soft tissues are rare conditions of wide world distribution but mostly reported from tropical countries. Urgent need for affordable and easily accessible molecular methods and well-conducted studies to allow for accurate diagnosis and to provide evidence to guide proper therapy are urgently needed.

“…This discovery has resulted in grouping of this pathogen within a monophyletic cluster, positioned as a close relative to P. americana and other Paracoccidioides species ( 3 , 7 ). Consequently, the taxonomy of the dolphin pathogen has been updated, now referred to as P. cetii , and the designation of the human-infecting pathogens remains classified as P. loboi ( 3 , 7 , 12 , 13 ). This recent amendment in the taxonomy reflects newfound understanding of the relationships between these pathogens.…”

We report a patient from Panama who had lobomycosis caused by Paracoccidioides ( Lacazia ) loboi. We used combined clinical-epidemiologic and phylogenetic data, including a new gene sequence dataset on this fungus in Panama, for analysis. Findings contribute useful insights to limited knowledge of this fungal infection in the Mesoamerican Biologic Corridor.
