Central nervous system paracoccidioidomycosis: an overview.
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an infectious disease, endemic to subtropical areas of Central and South America, caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It is a chronic disease, mostly affecting adult males, with a mean patient age of 44 years. Central nervous system involvement (CNS PCM) has been found in 13% of the patients with systemic disease. We reviewed the clinica...
متن کامل[Systemic paracoccidioidomycosis with central nervous system involvement].
A clinical case of a patient bearing systemic paracoccidioidomycosis with regional ganglionic and oral exposure and later pulmonary involvement is presented. The patient was treated with specific drugs (amphotericin B, itraconazole, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim) and followed throughout a 6-year period and eventually died showing an extensive involvement of the central nervous system.
متن کاملMRI of Central Nervous System Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM)
The actual frequency of paracoccidioidomycosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is not known, because neurological investigation of the patients is not routinely done and in many cases the CNS involvement may be silent [1]. The incidence of CNS involvement in several studies varied from 10 to 27 % [2]. Of the relatively small number of cases reported in the literature, the two most common cl...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملParacoccidioidomycosis case series with and without central nervous system involvement.
INTRODUCTION Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most important systemic mycosis in South America. Central nervous system involvement is potentially fatal and can occur in 12.5% of cases. This paper aims to contribute to the literature describing eight cases of neuroparacoccidioidomycosis (NPMC) and compare their characteristics with patients without neurological involvement, to identify unique...
