We review here the advances in the understanding of the immunopathology of human
paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Its investigation must take in account the intriguing natural …

Paracoccidioidomycosis (formerly known as South American blastomycosis) is produced by
the thermally dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Most often this mycosis runs a …

Innate immunity is based in pre-existing elements of the immune system that directly interact
with all types of microbes leading to their destruction or growth inhibition. Several elements …

The protective adaptive immune response in paracoccidioidomycosis, a mycosis endemic
among humans, is mediated by T cell immunity, whereas impaired T cell responses are …

Protective immunity in paracoccidioidomycosis is mainly mediated by cellular immunity. The
role of B cells in this disease, in particular B-1 cells, is poorly understood. The aim of this …

The fate of organochlorine 14C-dicofol in activated sludge process was investigated.
Results showed that the major part of radioactivity remained adsorbed on biological sludge …

The cell wall has a critical role in the host immune response to fungal pathogens. In this
study, we investigated the influence of two cell wall fractions of the dimorphic fungi …

Immunostimulatory therapy is a promising approach to improving the treatment of systemic
fungal infections such as paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), whose drug therapy is usually …

The thermally dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Pb) is the causative agent of
paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), one of the most frequent systemic mycosis that affects the …

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is caused by the fungi Paracoccidioides spp. The main
antigens recognized by IgE are known for P. brasiliensis species complex, but not for P …
