TI  - Spontaneous pneumothorax in paracoccidioidomycosis patients from an endemic area 
      in Midwestern Brazil.

AB  - Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most important systemic mycosis in Latin 
      America. About 80% of PCM patients are present with its chronic form. The lungs 
      are affected in most patients with the chronic form; however, pleural involvement 
      has rarely been reported. We describe nine cases of PCM that presented with lung 
      involvement and spontaneous pneumothorax. All patients, except one whose 
      condition was not investigated, were smokers. PCM was diagnosed during the 
      pneumothorax episode in three patients, and from 3 to 16 years before the 
      pneumothorax episode in six patients. A total of six patients underwent chest 
      drainage and one died as a direct result of the pneumothorax. We suggest that 
      pneumothorax, although rare, should be considered in PCM patients who present 
      with suddenly worsening dyspnoea. PCM should also be investigated in cases of 
      pneumothorax in adult men from mycosis-endemic areas.
