Immune system is essential to control and eliminate infections such as COVID-19 which has been transmitted since December 2019 and causing countless cases around the world. Factors such as masks adequate use and other measures of individual protection, socioeconomic status, and access to health services may explain incidence and mortality of variation in the disease among exposed individu…
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis whose etiological agents are the fungi of the S1 (Paracoccidioides brasiliensis), PS2 (Paracoccidioides americana), PS3 (Paracoccidioides restrepiensis), PS4 (Paracoccidioides venezuelensis) and Paracoccidioides lutzii, all belonging to the Paracoccidioides spp. It´s an endemic disease in Latin American countries, its distribution is heterogene…
Interleukin-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine belonging to the interleukin-1 family of cytokines. This cytokine exerts many unique biological and immunological effects. To explore the role of IL-18 in inflammatory innate immune responses, we investigated its impact on expression of two toll-like receptors (TLR2 and TLR4) and mannose receptor (MR) by human peripheral blood monocytes, and it…

In recent years, studies have focused on the role of neutrophils in paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), since the literature has demonstrated the dynamic involvement of these cells in host defense against various microorganisms. Several studies show that neutrophils can use a third strategy to destroy microorganisms, in addition to the formation of "oxidative burst" products and the discharge o…
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic fungal disease considered endemic in Latin America. This mycosis has as etiological agents the fungi Paracoccidioides spp., specifically Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (S1), Paracoccidioides americana (PS2), Paracoccidioides restrepiensis (PS3), Paracoccidioides venezuelensis (PS4) and Paracoccidioides lutzii. These agents are dimorphic, therefore…
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic suppurative cutaneous inflammatory disease characterized by perifollicular inflammation especially in areas of skin folds (e.g, armpits and perineum). With the progression of inflammation, cytokine levels are increased, accompanied by an influx of neutrophils, monocytes and mast cells. Neutrophils exert tissue activity from phagocytosis, discharg…
The fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is one of the causative agents of the paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) disease, endemic in regions of Latin America, when its infecting form, formed by conidia or mycelial propagules, is inhaled or inoculated through trauma in the host's skin. Once inside the host organism, the fungus induces an initial immune response with the predominant action of ne…
