Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most common endemic mycosis in Latin America. The etiological agents, which comprise two species, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii, are thermodimorphic fungi that usually affect previously healthy adults. They primarily involve the lungs and then disseminate to other organs. Such mycosis is rare in organ transplant recipients; there have been only three cases reported in literature, until now. We report a case of PCM in a renal transplant recipient with an unusual dermatological presentation.
副球孢子菌病（PCM）是拉丁美洲最常见的地方性真菌病。其病原体包括两种，即巴西副球孢子菌和卢氏副球孢子菌，是通常感染既往健康成年人的双相真菌。它们主要累及肺部，然后播散至其他器官。这种真菌病在器官移植受者中罕见；截至目前，文献中仅报道过3例。我们报告1例肾移植受者发生的PCM，伴有不寻常的皮肤表现。
