Paracoccidioidomycosis is an acute to chronic systemic mycosis caused by the fungi Paracoccidioides. Hypercalcemia is a rare and not fully understood presentation of this infection. We present a case report of paracoccidioidomycosis associated with hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury (AKI) in an immunocompetent patient.

Background: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) and histoplasmosis are endemic fungal diseases in South America. Both can lead to lung involvement with fungal dissemination progressing to systemic and severe clinical manifestations, especially in immunosuppressed hosts. As the population of immunosuppressed individuals has been rising, a higher occurrence of fungal infections is predicted in this setting.

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an endemic fungal disease that occurs in Latin America and primarily affects humans. The disease has been rarely documented in non-human primates. This report details a disseminated and fatal case of PCM caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in a western black-handed tamarin (Saguinus niger) under human care.

Article Synopsis
- Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a serious fungal disease characterized by excessive inflammation and granuloma formation, leading researchers to propose using hydroxyproline (HYP) levels as a marker for assessing disease severity.
- In an experiment with infected mice, histopathological analysis showed significant granuloma and collagen deposits, correlating with high HYP levels, while uninfected controls displayed minimal signs of the disease.
- The findings suggest that measuring HYP could provide an effective method for tracking disease progression and severity not only in PCM but potentially in other conditions involving fibrous tissue degradation.
