【 摘 要 】

An epidemiological survey was performed in 118 workers from northwestern Paraná state using gp43 as antigen, the positivity was 43%. This result, plus the weather conditions, which are favorable for fungus development, underscores that this region is an endemic area for paracoccidioidomycosis and is a reservoir of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
