Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most frequent systemic mycosis in Latin America, caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides. Paracoccidioidomycosis in children is uncommon. Our aim is to describe clinical features of patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis in our hospital in the last 10 years.
METHODS: We describe 4 cases of paracoccidioidomycosis in previously healthy children from the north of our country. Diagnoses were made by biopsy or culture.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis should be considered in a patient coming from regions where Paracoccidioides is endemic, and presenting with a lymphoproliferative syndrome, anemia, eosinophilia and hypergammaglobulinemia.
