AB We report the clinical findings and evolution of seven patients (five
men and two women), the majority of them intravenous drug users, with
paracoccidioidomycosis associated to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS). In four of the patients the paracoccidioidomycosis was
restricted to the lung and in the three others was generalized with
cutaneous involvement. Only two of them had lived recently in rural
area, an indication of the possible reactivation of latent focal
infection in the other five patients. The recognition of the role of
cell-mediated immunity in host defense against Paracoccidioides
brasiliensis leds to the prediction of a growing occurrence of the
paracoccidioidomycosis-AIDS association in areas that are endemic for
these diseases.
