Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic granulomatous fungal infection rarely associated with solid organ transplantation. We report the second case of PCM in an adult after liver transplantation. A 47-year-old woman who had undergone liver transplantation was hospitalized for flu-like symptoms and multiple erythematous ulcerated skin papules. There was lymphadenopathy, pulmonary compromise, and quickly progression to septic shock. PCM was confirmed by skin biopsy and serologic tests, and a satisfactory response to amphotericin B was achieved.
副球孢子菌病(PCM)是一种全身性肉芽肿性真菌感染,很少与实体器官移植相关。我们报告了肝移植术后成人发生PCM的第二例病例。一名接受肝移植的47岁女性因流感样症状和多处红斑性溃疡皮肤丘疹入院。存在淋巴结病、肺部损害,并迅速进展为感染性休克。通过皮肤活检和血清学检查确诊为PCM,且对两性霉素B治疗反应良好。
