A case of paracoccidioidal granuloma in norther Nigeria.
A case of Paracoccidioidal granuloma in Northern Nigeria is presented. The fungus could be cultured and identified as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Histology revealed a fungal lesion due to a yeast like organism. The patient responded to long acting Sulphormethoxine (Fanasil). A variation from the classic histopathological description and association of pustular psoriasiform lesions on the soles with a possibility of 'Id' reaction to the fungus are discussed.
