“…(3,12) The comparison between the three cases reported here and the other cases reported in the literature revealed that the pattern of pulmonary manifestations was basically the same: diffuse pneumonia, (12) with different degrees of severity, and concomitant cutaneous dissemination, which is the most common extrathoracic form (one patient). (18) The radiological (X-ray and CT) findings were similar. Some invasive methods for making the diagnosis, such as lung biopsy (6) and lobectomy, (5) have been described in the literature.…”

“…Contudo, essas esférulas são maiores (20 a 200 m) e contêm maior número de endósporos 10 . Na cultura, esses fungos, como são dimorfos, crescem sob forma filamentosa e produzem artroconídios; podem assim ser diferenciados das prototecas 4 .
