PG  - 291-4
AB  - Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most common systemic fungal disease in 
      central-south America, but is rare in Japan. We experiensed a case of PCM in a 
      patient, who came from Bolivia and presented with mouth pain and reduced dietary 
      intake but no fever. Adrenal insufficiency was diagnosed with extremely high 
      serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and was resolved with hormone 
      supplementation. The PCM was treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole which was 
      switched to itraconazole and improvement was achieved.
