TI  - Protein-losing enteropathy in paracoccidioidomycosis identified by scintigraphy: 
      report of three cases.
PG  - 540-3
AB  - Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) or South American Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal 
      infection caused by a dimorphic fungus, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It 
      represents the most important systemic mycosis in South America and with higher 
      prevalence among male inhabitants of the rural area. PCM usually affects the 
      lungs, and rarely the intestines. The authors report three cases of PCM, treated 
      at the University Hospital of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul whose 
      scintigraphy with technetium-99 labeled human albumin revead intestinal protein 
      loss.
