== Microbiology ==

* Dimorphic fungus with four phylogenetic lineages
* Disease is caused by ''P. brasiliensis'' and ''P. lutzii'' (newly discovered)
* '''Mariner's wheel''' of budding conidia

== Epidemiology ==

* South and Central America, with Brazil being the largest endemic country
* Has been isolated from the feces of bats (''Artibeus lituratus'') and from internal organs of the nine-banded armadillo

== Clinical Presentation ==

* Usually self-limited pulmonary infection
* Can cause acute/subacute pulmonary infection in children, adolescents, and immunocompromised individuals
** Fever, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly
** Half have skin and mucosal lesions
* Can cause chronic disease in adults
** Pulmonary infiltrates on CXR
** Adrenal lesions with insufficiency are common
* However, may remain latent following infection, and reactivate later as pulmonary or disseminated disease

== Management ==

* Itraconazole 200 to 400 mg/day for 9 to 12 months
