Human invasive mycoses: immunogenetics on the rise.
Exophiala species are ubiquitous dematiaceous yeast-like fungi of the order Chaetothyriales that bear melanin-like pigment in their cell wall that is responsible for their dark color and is thought to be a major fungal virulence factor [1–3]. Among the agents of phaeohyphomycosis (cutaneous, subcutaneous, and invasive infections caused by dark-walled fungi), most human Exophiala infections are ...

Charles Larsen trained as a protein chemist and has studied the biophysics of viral membrane fusion. His current interest is the cellular immunology and genetics of the human nonresponse to hepatitis B vaccine. This interest has broadened to include the relationship between MHC genetic structure and autoimmune phenomena. Abbreviations CEH conserved extended haplotype KIR killer immunoglobulin-l...

El objetivo de este número monográfico es plantear, desde un punto de vista multidisciplinario del paciente crítico, la dificultad del diagnóstico y el manejo terapéutico de la infección fúngica invasiva (IFI) en sus escenarios más frecuentes con pacientes posquirúrgicos, receptores de órgano sólido y quemados graves. “La detallada descripción de los siete casos clínicos presentados refleja la ...
متن کاملImmunogenetics of Human Haptoglobins
A B S T R A C T Using a radioimmunoassay method in conjunction with double diffusion studies, we characterized the antigenic determinants of the three Hp Bellevue phenotypes. An antigenic model based on these data indicates that each phenotype comprises a heterogeneous group of proteins with properties depending on their content of normal (hp,8) and of mutant (hp,8Bellevue) chains of haptoglobi...
متن کامل[Role of voriconazole in critically ill patients with invasive mycoses].
This observational study of the use of voriconazole conducted in Spain has identified reasons, characteristics, and forms of use of voriconazole in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. Voriconale was used for directed treatment (63%), by the intravenous route (75%), as rescue treatment (41%) in severely ill patients (APACHE 21) with high need of resources and therapeutic interventions. ...
