Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 9, September 2024.ABSTRACT Background Blastomycosis is a pulmonary disease caused by Blastomyces spp., a group of pathogenic dimorphic fungi endemic to a number of geographic regions, specifically Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, Canada. Immunosuppression is a major risk factor affecting disease susceptibility, yet host immunity is not well understood.

Molecular biology of the dimorphic fungi Paracoccidioides SPP [PDF]
, 2011 Paracoccidioides spp, herein commonly referred as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the etiological agent of racoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. Many aspects of the biology of P. brasiliensis remain

From Mendel to mycoses: Immuno‐genomic warfare at the human–fungus interface
Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 28-52, March 2024.Summary Fungi are opportunists: They particularly require a defect of immunity to cause severe or disseminated disease. While often secondary to an apparent iatrogenic cause, fungal diseases do occur in the absence of one, albeit infrequently. These rare cases may be due to an underlying genetic immunodeficiency that can present variably in age of ...

Identification and characterization of expressed retrotransposons in the genome of the Paracoccidioides species complex [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Species from the Paracoccidioides complex are thermally dimorphic fungi and the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, a deep fungal infection that is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America and represents the most important

Functional neutrophil disorders: Chronic granulomatous disease and beyond
Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 71-80, March 2024.Summary Since their description by Metchnikoff in 1905, phagocytes have been increasingly recognized to be the entities that traffic to sites of infection and inflammation, engulf and kill infecting organisms, and clear out apoptotic debris all the while making antigens available and accessible to the lymphoid organs for future use.

Disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis based on oral lesions
Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2014 Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep mycosis with primary lung manifestations that may present cutaneous and oral lesions. Oral lesions mimic other infectious diseases or even squamous cell carcinoma, clinically and microscopically.
