Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease with a highly variable distribution, endemic to Central and South America with the highest prevalence in Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. The chronic presentation of the disease is commonly observed in adult men and they manifest with pulmonary and mucocutaneous lesions. We report a fatal case of disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis in a 68-year-old immunocompetent man, with pulmonary, skin, mucosal, and cerebral involvement. Mucocutaneous lesions were decisive for the etiological diagnosis.
