Host-Fungal Interactions: Pathogenicity versus Immunity
Fungal pathogens represent a leading cause of life-threatening infections in debilitated patients and exert a substantial toll on health care resources. A major development in the past few years, resulting from extremely rapid technological advances, has been the elucidation of the genome sequences of all of the major human fungal pathogens. Together with the development of transcriptomics and ...
متن کاملCutaneous fungal infection in an immunocompromised host
A 69-year-old male, who had a second orthotropic liver transplant for hepatic allograft failure from relapsed primary sclerosing cholangitis of the graft 4months earlier, presented with nodular lesions of the right arm. He was cytomegalovirus donor positive and recipient negative, Epstein-Barr virus recipient positive and QuantiFERON-TB Gold test negative. He had no recent episodes of acute rej...
متن کاملHost Transcriptional Response to Ebola Virus Infection
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a serious illness that causes severe disease in humans and non-human primates (NHPs) and has mortality rates up to 90%. EVD is caused by the Ebolavirus and currently there are no licensed therapeutics or vaccines to treat EVD. Due to its high mortality rates and potential as a bioterrorist weapon, a better understanding of the disease is of high priority. Multiparam...
متن کاملHost Immune Response to Chlamydia Infection
1. protection against intracellular bacteria is mediated by T cells, which are interacting, not directly with the pathogen, but with the infected cell surface; antibodies exhibit a minor effect on the immune protection against intracellular infections; 2. infections by intracellular bacteria is accompanied by delayed hypersensitivity reactions that occur after the local administration of solubl...
متن کاملLung dendritic cells and host immunity to infection.
The lung is a portal of entry for numerous microbial pathogens, against which evolution has created an adequate innate and adaptive immune response. Dendritic cells (DCs) are central to the integration of innate and specific immunity. These cells are located within the epithelium and interstitium of the lung where they are influenced by the innate immune system. Upon recognition and internaliza...
