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

Patients with paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) display a certain degree of
immunecompromise characterized by lymphocyte hyporesponsiveness to the main …

To investigate the role of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the
resistance to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Pb) infection, mice with homologous disruption …

Cellular immune response to Paracoccidiodes brasiliensis antigens (PbAg) was evaluated
in patients with the juvenile (JF) and adult (AF) forms of paracoccidioidomycosis as well as …

We report the isolation of a Coccidioides immitis gene (SOWgp) which encodes an
immunodominant, spherule outer wall glycoprotein that is presented as a component of a …

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

The interaction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with endemic tropical
diseases has become a major concern, but its mechanisms are still poorly understood …

Background. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a facultative intracellular dimorphic fungus that
causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most important deep mycosis in Latin America …
