title: [Paracoccidioidomycosis and gastrectomy].
abstract: In a review of the clinical records of 757 cases of paracoccidioidomycosis 11 (1.5%) of the patients had been previously submitted to gastrectomy. It is suggested that after gastrectomy individuals present a higher risk for the development of such infections, similar to that which occurs in tuberculosis.
