When PCM occurs simultaneously with underlying immunosuppressive conditions, it can present as an opportunistic disease. Between 2000 and 2017, literature reported around 200 PCM cases in people living with HIV\/AIDS (PLWHA). To address research gaps on this co-infection and to study its possible temporal changes in the last decade, we performed an active co-infection case search on the HIV\/AIDS and PCM cohorts from a Brazilian reference center database from 1989 to 2019. We found 20 PLWHA among 684 PCM patients (2.92%), predominantly male (70.0%) and urban workers (80.0%). The median age of patients was higher in the 2010\u20132019 decade (p = 0.006). The occurrence of PCM in PLWHA was lower when compared with other fungal diseases. Although 50.0% of the patients had already been diagnosed with HIV infection and presented CD4+ T cell counts greater than 200\/mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> at the time of PCM diagnosis, the suspicion of immunosuppression in the context of atypical and more severe clinical forms of PCM revealed the diagnosis of HIV infection in 35.0% of the patients. Two (10.0%) patients had an evolution compatible with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART).We highlight the importance of considering a PCM diagnosis in PLWHA to prevent a late-onset treatment and progression to severe manifestations and unfavorable outcomes. In addition, HIV investigation is recommended in PCM patients, especially those with atypical and more severe clinical presentations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0010529","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,15]],"date-time":"2022-06-15T18:14:27Z","timestamp":1655316867000},"page":"e0010529","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Paracoccidioidomycosis in people living with HIV\/AIDS: A historical retrospective cohort study in a national reference center for infectious diseases, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2118-653X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Eduardo Mastrangelo","family":"Falc\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Priscila Marques","family":"de Macedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dayvison Francis Saraiva","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9a d\u2019Avila","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Grinsztejn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valdil\u00e9a Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Veloso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Almeida-Paes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio Carlos Francesconi","family":"do Valle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"pntd.0010529.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"715","DOI":"10.1590\/0037-8682-0230-2017","article-title":"Brazilian guidelines for the clinical management of paracoccidioidomycosis","volume":"50","author":"MA Shikanai-Yasuda","year":"2017","journal-title":"Rev Soc Bras Med Trop"},{"issue":"1","key":"pntd.0010529.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3390\/jof3010001","article-title":"New Trends in Paracoccidioidomycosis Epidemiology","volume":"3","author":"R.
