| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis restricted to Latin America, reported mainly in Brazil, Colom- bia and Venezuela. The disease, caused by the dimor- phic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is usually a pro- gressive chronic illness that primarily involves the lungs and disseminates to several organs and systems. Rarely, the initial pulmonary infection outweighs the host’s immune defenses, causing an acute-subacute disease, the juvenile type, that predominantly involves the reticuloendothelial system. Nevertheless, the commonest clinical presentation is the chronic form, or adult type disease. |
