Paracoccidioidomycosis differential diagnosis: case series

Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a neglected disease and the most important systemic mycosis in Latin America. This fungal infection is directly linked to activities related to the rural environment, such as agriculture. Despite being a frequently diagnosed disease in Brazil, the real rates of prevalence and incidence are not estimated due to the non-mandatory notification of the disease, which was recently implemented in 2020. We report three interesting cases of Paracoccidioidomycosis in immunocompetent adults, with varied clinical manifestations.
