Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the incidence and spectrum of abdominal computed tomography imaging findings in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis.Materials and Methods:Retrospective analysis of abdominal computed tomography images of 26 patients with disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis.Results:Abnormal abdominal tomographic findings were observed in 18 patients (69.2%), while no significant finding was observed in the other 8 (30.8%) patients.Conclusion:Computed tomography has demonstrated to play a relevant role in the screening and detection of abdominal abnormalities in patients with disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis.Objetivo:Avaliar a frequência e variedade de achados de imagem por exames de tomografia computadorizada de abdome em indivíduos com paracoccidioidomicose disseminada.Materiais e Métodos:Estudo retrospectivo dos exames de tomografia computadorizada de abdome de 26 pacientes com paracoccidioidomicose disseminada.Resultados:Foram encontradas alterações tomográficas abdominais em 18 pacientes (69,2%) dos casos analisados e 8 pacientes (30,8%) apresentaram exames normais.Conclusão:A tomografia computadorizada de abdome mostrou grande importância no rastreamento e identificação de alterações abdominais nos pacientes com paracoccidioidomicose disseminada.
