Abstract

Jorge Lobo’s disease (JLD), caused by Paracoccidioides lobogeorgii, primarily affects inhabitants of the Amazon Forest. We report a 9-year-old boy in Brazil who had JLD diagnosed after a tick bite. The rarity of pediatric cases likely reflects surveillance gaps. Increased clinical awareness is crucial for early JLD detection and intervention, especially in endemic regions.
