Paracoccidioidomycosis in a liver transplant recipient

ABSTRACT Paracoccidioidomycosis is a granulomatous systemic mycosis that is endemic in Latin America; it is an extremely rare infection following solid organ transplantation. In this study, we describe the first report of disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis in a 3-year-old girl who underwent liver transplantation 2 years previously. The radiologic diagnosis and patient follow-up are described. In addition, we review the clinical evolution and treatment regimens for this infection.

摘要：副球孢子菌病（Paracoccidioidomycosis）是一种流行于拉丁美洲的肉芽肿性系统性真菌病；实体器官移植术后感染该病菌极为罕见。本研究报道首例2年前接受肝移植的3岁女童罹患播散性副球孢子菌病的病例，并对其影像学诊断及患者随访情况进行描述。此外，本文还综述了该感染的临床转归与治疗方案。
