Journal Article
Paracoccidioides and Paracoccidioidomycosis in the 21st Century
2023
Overview
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) defines a broad spectrum of human and animal diseases caused by
Paracoccidioides
species (Onygenales). In the twenty-first century,
Paracoccidioides
advanced from a monotypic taxon to a genus that harbors seven species, including
P. brasiliensis
sensu stricto,
P. americana
,
P. restrepiensis
,
P. venezuelensis
,
P. lutzii, P. loboi,
and
P. cetii
. Classic PCM, acquired upon inhalation of propagules from
P. brasiliensis
sensu stricto,
P. americana
,
P. restrepiensis
,
P. venezuelensis,
and
P. lutzii
, affects the human lungs and may progress to systemic granulomatous disease with tegumentary and visceral involvement. On the other hand, PCM loboi and PCM ceti caused by the unculturable
P. loboi
and
P. cetii
are subcutaneous mycoses, typically observed as keloid lesions in humans and dolphins. Such heterogeneity highlights the importance of recognizing species boundaries in
Paracoccidioides
to gain insights into the ecology, evolution, clinical features, and mitigation strategies to tackle the advance of PCM.
