Ferreira MS – The fungus grows slowly and its isolation is difficult. Histologic and serologic studies may also assist in the diagnosis of this mycosis. Sulfonamides, ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole and amphotericin B have been successfully used in the treatment of paracoccidioidomycosis. Itraconazole is the treatment of choice, being effective in more than 95% of cases. Co–trimoxazole is still frequently used especially in chronic progressive disease and as maintenance after a course of amphotericin B in severe cases of this mycosis.
