ABSTRACT
Deaths caused by systemic mycoses such as paracoccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, coccidioidomycosis and zygomycosis amounted to 3,583 between 1996-2006 in Brazil. When analysed as the underlying cause of death, paracoccidioidomycosis represented the most important cause of deaths among systemic mycoses (~ 51.2 percent). When considering AIDS as the underlying cause of death and the systemic mycoses as associated conditions, cryptococcosis (50.9 percent) appeared at the top of the list, followed by candidiasis (30.2 percent), histoplasmosis (10.1 percent) and others. This mortality analysis is useful in understanding the real situation of systemic mycoses in Brazil, since there is no mandatory notification of patients diagnosed with systemic mycoses in the official health system.
