RESUMO
La paracoccidioidomicosis es una enfermedad micótica causada por hongos termo-dismórficos del género Paracoccidioides. Típicamente endémica de países como Brasil, Colombia, y otros países de América del sur, su prevalencia varía según la zona, siendo prácticamente exclusiva de dichos países. Puede crecer tanto en forma de levadura como micelas, ocasionando infecciones generalmente asintomáticas, localizadas típicamente en mucosas y tracto respiratorio superior. Presentamos el caso de una paciente inmunodeprimida con diagnóstico de osteomielitis por dicho patógeno. (AU)
