Monoartrite de joelho como manifestação isolada de paracoccidiodomicose

Abstract: A paracoccidioidomicose é micose sistêmica de distribuição geográfica limitada à América Latina, com maior incidência no Brasil, Venezuela, Colômbia, Equador e Argentina. Causada pelo fungo dimórfico Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, é adquirida por via inalatória, resultando na formação de um complexo primário pulmonar ganglionar que, na maioria das vezes, regride espontaneamente com o estabelecimento de imunidade específica do hospedeiro. Antes do estabelecimento desta imunidade, porém, usualmente ocorre dissem… Show more

“…The commitment of the synovial membrane is described as the initial phase of PCM joint damage 35 , and the spread of the fungus often occurs secondary to a primary focus for hematogenous, lymphatic or contiguous 20,35 . In this study, we induced an opposite pathway where the fungus was inoculated directly into the joint and, with disease progression the invasion to adjacent bones could be observed, indicating a severe degree of arthritis and systemic dissemination, as part of the disease during the 45 days of this study.…”

“…(Table 1). [1][2][3]8,[10][11][12] Bones that are most affected by the disease are those of the chest wall, 7 including ribs, sternum, scapula, and acromion. This finding may be explained by the common routine of performing a chest radiography when paracoccidioidomycosis is suspected.…”

“…Osteoarticular impairment has also occurred, but unifocal form is rare. [1][2][3] The purpose of this study was to describe an unusual case of unifocal paracoccidioidomycosis located on the middle third of the left tibia, without pulmonary impairment, and to characterize its evolution and treatment.…”

“…Já existem relatos de lesões articulares isoladas, sem evidências clínicas, laboratoriais e radiológicas de acometimento em outros órgãos (17,20) . O aspecto radiográfico é de destruição da cartilagem, com derrame e redução do espaço articular (Figura 12), indistinguível dos demais processos infecciosos.…”
