"Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus. Microscopically, it shows a characteristic yeastlike appearance with multiple peripheral budding resembling a pilot’s wheel, or, when only two buds around the mother cell, resembling a ‘Mickey Mouse’’ head 2. Staining is usually performed with methenamine–silver nitrate (Grocott-Gomori) or periodic acid–Schiff 1,2."

Line 22:4 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>Paracoccidioides </em><em>brasiliensis</em>'

"The strong male prevalence is explained by the presence of beta-oestradiol membrane receptors in the P. brasiliensis, which inhibits the switch of forms from the conidia-mycelial propagules to the yeast form 2. Postmenopausal women are no longer protected by this mechanism and may also present with the chronic clinical form of the disease."

Line 24:105 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>P. </em><em>brasiliensis</em>'

"P. brasiliensis is a very sensitive fungus and responds to a great range of antifungal drugs. Most mild and moderate clinical forms of PCM are managed with itraconazole or sulfamethoxazole plus trimethoprim and, the severe cases, with amphotericin B 2,3."

There Is
suggestion

"PCM represents the most prevalent systemic mycosis in South America and, in particular, in Brazil, where it is estimated to affect about 10% of the population in the endemic regions, particularly in the rural areas 1. There is a strong male preference of the chronic symptomatic form, with a ratio of 13:1 1,2."
