摘要

Purpose of Review

This paper's objective is to review systemic endemic mycoses, considering the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment in the pediatric population.

Recent Findings

The increase in awareness, description, and diagnosis of these diseases in the pediatric population allows us to make a more precise characterization of the clinical manifestations, as well as the description of risk factors.

Summary

The clinical presentations of these mycosis are varied; high clinical suspicion and geographical background are required for diagnosis. Immunocompromised patients usually present with the most severe manifestations but may present in immunocompetent patients.
