“…Only three cases of paracoccidioidomycosis in SOT recipients have been reported, and all occurred in renal transplant patients (339,353,417). In all cases, infection developed more than 5 years after transplantation, and clinical presentations were similar to those of other cases of this mycosis in nonimmunosuppressed patients.…”

SUMMARY In recent years, the increasing number of donors from different regions of the world is providing a new challenge for the management and selection of suitable donors. This is a worldwide problem in most countries with transplantation programs, especially due to the increase in immigration and international travel. This paper elaborates recommendations regarding the selection criteria for donors from foreign countries who could potentially transmit tropical or geographically restricted infections to solid-organ transplant recipients. For this purpose, an extensive review of the medical literature focusing on viral, fungal, and parasitic infections that could be transmitted during transplantation from donors who have lived or traveled in countries where these infections are endemic has been performed, with special emphasis on tropical and imported infections. The review also includes cases described in the literature as well as risks of transmission during transplantation, microbiological tests available, and recommendations for each infection. A table listing different infectious agents with their geographic distributions and specific recommendations is included.

“…The clinical presentation of the first case was similar to other cases of the mycosis in non-immunosuppressed patients 7 . SHIKANAI-YASUDA et al 6 reported a case with severe pulmonary infection. In our report, clinical manifestations of the disease were similar to nonimmunosuppressed patients infections.…”

“…However, such mycosis is rare in organ transplant recipient patients. There are only two cases reported in the literature until now that present such mycosis complicating the transplantation of solid organs 6,7 . The aim of this report was to describe another case of PCM in a renal transplant recipient with an unusual radiological presentation of the lung lesions.…”

SUMMARYParacoccidioidomycosis is a common disease in Latin America but it is rare in organ transplant recipient patients. We report on a case of such mycosis in a renal transplant recipient. The patient presented with a large lung cavity on the left lower lobe, a rare radiological presentation of paracoccidioidomycosis. Unusual clinical and radiological manifestations of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection can occur in immunocompromised patients.

“…Pmycosis has been described in immunosuppressed patients on cancer treatment and after renal transplantation (Sugar et al, 1984;Shikanai-Yasuda et al, 1995). There are reports of Pmycosis in patients using corticosteroids, azathioprine, and antineoplastic drugs (Londero et al, 1987).…”

Oral fungal infections (mycoses) have come into particular prominence since the advent of infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and recognition of the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), as well as the phenomenal increase in world travel with increased exposure to infections endemic in the tropics. Paracoccidioidomycosis is a rare mycosis worldwide but common in Brazil and some other areas in Latin America. It can be life-threatening and can manifest with a spectrum of clinical presentations, including frequent oral lesions. This paper reviews the more recent information on Paracoccidioidomycosis, emphasizing those areas most relevant in dental science.
