Abstract
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic infection caused by the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and is believed to be the leading cause of fungal pulmonary infection. In this study, we used an inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to diagnose pulmonary PCM based on the detection of 43-kDa and 70-kDa molecules in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids. The results were compared with results obtained by classical methods for antibody detection.Entities:
