Zusammenfassung: | Objective: To report a case of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic disease caused by fungi of the species Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii, in a previously healthy patient. Case description: A 21-year-old patient presented with diffuse lymph node enlargement, persistent fever, and significant weight loss with a 2-year evolution. He was diagnosed with PCM by means of cervical lymph node biopsy and treatment of the disease with liposomal amphotericin B was initiated. Conclusion: PCM is a rare disease that is difficult to diagnose, given the broad clinical picture of the disease. However, it has a good prognosis after diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
