Abstract
The increase in solid organ transplantations may soon create a rise in the occurrence of endemic fungal diseases, such as paracoccidioidomycosis, due to the lack of rigorous screening of donors from endemic areas. Here we present the first case of an immunocompetent and asymptomatic kidney donor who had Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infected-adrenal tissue but no glandular dysfunction.
