RESUMO
Candida tropicalis is the Candida species that is mostly involved in case of acute disseminated candidiasis. We report here a case with whole body dissemination (pulmonary, cutaneous, muscular, hepatic, spinal and cerebral) highlighted by impressive imagery obtained by positron emission tomography scanner in a patient treated for T cell acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Schistosomiasis mansoni presents many clinical manifestations during migration of schistosomes in their hosts, including diarrhea, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, liver abscesses, skinlesions, brain tumors and myeloradiculopathy. No lesions have been reported in skeletal striated muscles due to schistosomiasis mansoni in the literature. This short communication reports the histopathological findings on skeletal musculature in a murine model of neuroeschistosomiasis mansoni. Lesions were found in the tongue, masseter muscle, buccinator muscle, digastric muscle and temporalis muscle. Worm recovery was carried out to confirm the infection. We describe here, for the first time in the literature, injuries in the skeletal musculature due to Schistosoma mansoni nfection.
