Bone marrow involvement in a patient with paracoccidioidomycosis: a rare presentation of juvenile form

Graziella Hanna Pereira et al. Mycopathologia. 2010 Oct.

Abstract

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis rarely shows bone marrow involvement and its response to treatment with itraconazole in children needs further assessment. We describe here a child with a juvenile disseminated form of paracoccidioidomycosis, which showed reticuloendothelial system involvement and the presence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in the bone marrow. The patient showed an effective and rapid response to itraconazole therapy.
