TI  - Oral paracoccidioidomycosis: Retrospective analysis of 55 Brazilian patients.

AB  - Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a rare fungal infection in the world, but endemic 
      and acquired exclusively in Latin America, with the highest prevalence in South 
      America and Brazil, particularly. Changes in oral cavity are common and 
      constitute the first clinical manifestation in many patients. The aim of this 
      study was to describe the prevalence of oral PCM and analyse the profile of the 
      disease and patients. Retrospective research, consisting of information present 
      in the medical records in the period 1998-2015, whose histopathological diagnosis 
      was oral PCM. Fifty-five oral PCM cases were confirmed. Of these patients, 90.9% 
      were males and 9.1% were females. The average age was 49.66 years and the most 
      reported occupation was rural workers. The painful symptomatology was present in 
      61.82% of patients. Erythematous lesions were predominant in 73% of them. In 
      single lesions (22 cases), the most common locations were jugal mucosa and 
      tongue. In multiple involvement (30 cases), the most affected regions were lips, 
      jugal mucosa and alveolar ridge. Epidemiology of PCM, was similar to several 
      other studies, especially in Brazil. This is the most important fungal infection 
      in Latin America and the recognition of oral lesions is extremely important, as 
      is often the first and in many cases the only manifestation of the disease.
