ABSTRACT

A paracoccidioidomicose (PCM) é a infecção fúngica sistêmica de maior prevalência na América Latina. Sua real prevalência, entretanto, não é conhecida, pois não é de notificação compulsória.

Os pacientes apresentaram a seguinte distribuição: 1) 54 (73%) eram homens; 2) 43 (58,1%) residiam em áreas urbanas e 26(35,1%) em áreas rurais de MG; 3) 47 (63,5%) relataram contato com área rural; 4) 28 (37,8%) eram lavradores, 19 (25,7%) eram prestadores de serviços em áreas urbanas, 15 (20,3%) eram estudantes, 6 (8,1%) eram "do lar" e 4 (5,4%) eram domésticas; 5) 31 (41,9%) eram feodérmico, 21 (28,4%) eram leucodérmicos, e 19 (25,7%) melanodérmicos.
