Hypersensitivity pneumonitis of a bagpipe player: Fungal antigens as trigger?
Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2019 Here we present a 79-year old man with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis probably caused by fungal contamination of a bagpipe. Several samples were taken from the patient's bagpipe.

Detection of Fusarium solani using cutinase antibody and its application in diagnosing fungal keratitis in an animal model. [PDF]
PLoS ONEFungal keratitis (FK) is a sight-threatening infectious disease that can result in blindness if not appropriately treated. Although keratitis associated with filamentous fungi was rarely reported in the past, the incidence of fungal keratitis due to ...

A fungal antigenic driver for Löfgren’s syndrome sarcoidosis [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2021 Löfgren’s syndrome is an acute form of sarcoidosis that is characterized by the activation of CD4+ T helper cells. In this issue of JEM, Greaves et al. (2021. J. Exp. Med.https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20210785) identified a peptide derived from an airborne mold species that stimulates T cells of Löfgren’s syndrome patients in an HLA-DR3–restricted manner.

Novel Pneumocystis Antigens for Seroprevalence Studies
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Pneumocystis jirovecii is the most common cause of fungal pneumonia in children under the age of 2 years. However, the inability to culture and propagate this organism has hampered the acquisition of a fungal genome as well as the development of ...

Cooperative Stimulation of Dendritic Cells by Cryptococcus neoformans Mannoproteins and CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides [PDF]
, 2008 While mannosylation targets antigens to mannose receptors on dendritic cells (DC), the resultant immune response is suboptimal. We hypothesized that the addition of toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands would enhance the DC response to mannosylated antigens ...
