Mycoses. 1997 Dec;40(9-10):343-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0507.1997.tb00246.x.

Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis has been rarely reported among HIV patients, despite being an endemic mycosis in Latin America. The present report illustrates a case of PM in a teenager infected with HIV. Clinicians must be aware that this mycosis may occur in young HIV infected patients who live in endemic areas.
