 AB    We report the clinical findings and evolution of seven patients (five
       men and two women), the majority of them intravenous drug users, with
       paracoccidioidomycosis associated to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
       (AIDS). In four of the patients the paracoccidioidomycosis was
       restricted to the lung and in the three others was generalized with
       cutaneous involvement. Only two of them had lived recently in rural
       area, an indication of the possible reactivation of latent focal
       infection in the other five patients. The recognition of the role of
       cell-mediated immunity in host defense against Paracoccidioides
       brasiliensis leds to the prediction of a growing occurrence of the
       paracoccidioidomycosis-AIDS association in areas that are endemic for
       these diseases.
