Disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis in a migrant from Paraguay
Highlights: Disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis was diagnosed in a Paraguayan migrant presenting with pulmonary, adrenal and central nervous system involvement. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology, RT-qPCR and culture. Early recognition and combined antifungal therapy are crucial for management, underscoring the need to consider endemic mycoses in migrants from Latin America.
