Abstract

Background: This review article summarizes and updates the knowledge on paracoccidioidomycosis. P lutzii and the cryptic species of P. brasiliensis and their geographical distribution in Latin America, explaining the difficulties observed in the serological diagnosis.

Objectives: Emphasis has been placed on some genetic factors as predisposing condition for paracoccidioidomycosis. Veterinary aspects were focused, showing the wide distribution of infection among animals. The cell-mediated immunity was better characterized, incorporating the recent findings.

Methods: Serological methods for diagnosis were also compared for their parameters of accuracy, including the analysis of relapse.

Results: Clinical forms have been better classified in order to include the pictures less frequently observesiod.

Conclusion: Itraconazole and the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination was compared regarding efficacy, effectiveness and safety, demonstrating that azole should be the first choice in the treatment of paracoccidioidomycosis.

副球虫病：来自巴西的最新观点。

背景：这篇综述文章总结和更新了对副球虫病的认识。卢齐氏毕赤酵母和巴西毕赤酵母的隐种及其在拉丁美洲的地理分布，解释了血清学诊断中观察到的困难。目的：强调一些遗传因素作为副球虫病的易感条件。重点关注兽医方面，显示感染在动物中的广泛分布。结合最近的发现，细胞介导的免疫得到了更好的表征。方法：还比较了血清学诊断方法的准确性参数，包括复发分析。结果：临床形式得到了更好的分类，以便包括观察频率较低的图片。结论：比较了伊曲康唑与甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑联合用药的疗效、有效性和安全性，表明唑类药物应是治疗副球虫病的首选药物。
