Paracoccidioidomycosis: historical, etiologic agent, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical forms, laboratory diagnosis and antigens
Keywords:
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis, P. brasiliensis antigensAbstract
In the 100th birthday of the first published case of paracoccidioidomycosis this review summarizes some knowledge about historical, etiologic agent, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical forms, laboratory diagnosis and antigens. Despite the significant advances in many areas of knowledge, the mycosis described by Adolpho Lutz in 1908, showed high mortalily and lethality rates and low visibility representing the eighth most common cause of death from predominantly chronic or recurrent types of infectious and parasitic diseases.
