Spores of Paracoccidioides spp. are commonly transmitted via the respiratory route to the human host. Following transmission, Paracoccidioides spp. particles invade the terminal bronchioles and alveoli where granulomas are formed, but can be inactive for up to 40 years. On microscopic histopathological analysis, a "pilot's wheel" or a "Mickey mouse ears-like" appearance is a characteristic finding of<unk>  (PCM).
