Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic and progressive subcutaneous mycosis caused mainly by the fungus Fonsecae pedrosoi. During the infections, exudatives lesions and granuloma (composed mainly by macrophages and neutrophils) are often observed in skin biopsies. Studies from the 90s suggested that conidia could survive inside macrophages. After stimulation with IFN-³, those macrophages would …
The present proposal of USP Visiting Researcher, for Dr. Leila Lopes Bezerra, coordinator of INCT Infecções Emergún Emergentes, approved in 2016, which involves two USP faculty / researchers who support this proposal, aims to develop, at least in part, the Projects of the nuclei Sporotrichosis and Paracoccidioidomycosis of this INCT. It should be noted that fungal infections, the focus of…
In recent decades, there was observed an increased incidence of fungal infections. This occurred due mainly invasive medical procedures, long periods of hospitalization and increased the number of immunocompromised patients due to infectious diseases such as HIV or treatments that induce immune deficiency, such as immunosuppressive agents and drugs used in the treatment of cancer. In this…

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic and progressive subcutaneous mycosis caused mainly by the fungus Fonsecae pedrosoi. The fungus can be found in its natural habitat (soil and plants) in conidia and mycelia forms. During the infections, exudatives lesions and granuloma (composed by macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes) are often observed in skin biopsies. Currently, little …
Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic fungal disease that occurs in a variety of forms. It attacks the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous, and may also present secondary infection, leading to lymphedema and occasionally squamous cell carcinoma. The infection is acquired in most cases by traumatic implantation, through the entrance of conidia, fragments of hyphae of the pathogen through the …
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection acquired by traumatic means, through the penetration of conidia and fragments of hyphae of the fungus by the solution of the skin continuity. Most of the reported cases of chromoblastomycosis have as etiological agent F. pedrosoi and mainly affect the countries of tropical and subtropical regions. In Brazil, the disease has be…

Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation (NETosis) is the newest effector function ascribed to neutrophils, during the last decade. Neutrophils generate NETs with their own DNA fibers that are coated with intracellular cytotoxic compounds. NETs have the capacity to trap and kill pathogens, extracellularly. NETosis is a programmed cell death that is different from apoptosis and necros…
Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by dimorphic fungi Sporothrix. Sporotrichosis is a reemerging disease at the moment it is a zoonosis, it affects cats and humans. Initially Sporothrix schenckii is single specie responsible for sporotrichosis. Subsequent genotypic and phenotypic studies the species was found high variability between isolates and established the existence of …
