Abstract
Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most prevalent mycosis in South America. Mucocutaneous and lymph node involvement is the most frequent affectation of this disease in our country, with the intestinal commitment rarely reported. We report 4 cases of colonic manifestation with abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, and weight loss. The diagnosis was made with biopsy and Gomori stain. The average age was 29 years old. The colonoscopy showed many ulcers in the ileum distal and colon. We found VIH as comorbidity in one patient.
