Human Lobomycosis Caused by Paracoccidioides (Lacazia) loboi, Panama, 2022

We report a patient from Panama who had lobomycosis caused by Paracoccidioides (Lacazia) loboi. We used combined clinical-epidemiologic and phylogenetic data, including a new gene sequence dataset on this fungus in Panama, for analysis. Findings contribute useful insights to limited knowledge of this fungal infection in the Mesoamerican Biologic Corridor.PMID:37987584 | DOI:10.3201/eid2912.231092
