The Predictive Role of Biomarkers for Leprosy Prophylaxis in Contacts of Patients Who Are Indices of the Disease: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leprosy continues to be an important public health problem, particularly in endemic regions such as Brazil, India, and Indonesia. Household contacts of multibacillary (MB) patients represent a high‐risk group for subclinical infection due to prolonged exposure and high bacillary load.

Abundant Yet Aberrant T Helper Cell Responses to Candida albicans Underlie Mucosal Candidiasis in Humans and Mice

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.
Th17 cells confer protection against Candida albicans infection. In patients with STAT1 gain‐of‐function (GOF) mutations and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), Candida‐specific Th cell responses are numerically preserved but skewed toward Th1 and Th2.

Serological Evidence of Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Infections as a Potential Risk for Severity in Leprosy Patients

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 10, Page 1115-1123, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Leprosy presents a broad clinical spectrum influenced by the host's immune response, and co‐infections may further modulate disease progression. This study evaluated clinically diagnosed leprosy patients (n = 251) from Sergipe and Minas Gerais, Brazil, along with healthy controls (n = 43), soil‐transmitted helminths‐positive controls (n = 15),
