Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a mycotic disease caused by thermo-dysmorphic fungi, from Paracoccidioides family. Usually endemic from countries such as Brazil, Colombia and another south America countries; its prevalence oscillates depending on the area, being almost exclusive of these countries. It can grow like yeast, also like micelle, causing usually asymptomatic infections at mucosae and upper respiratory tract. We present a case of an immunosuppressed patient, diagnosed of osteomyelitis by this pathogen.
