Paracoccidioidomycosis: a recently proposed classification of its clinical forms
Marcello Franco,M. R. Montenegro,Rinaldo Poncio Mendes,Silvio Alencar Marques,Neusa Lima Dillon,N. G. S. Mota +5 more
TL;DR: A variety of criteria is an indication of the partial acceptance of many classifications of human paracoccidioidomycosis, since the authors still do not know where the fungus comes from and how it invades the human host, making difficult the evaluation of the early phases of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between cell-mediated immunity and clinical forms of paracoccidioidomycosis
N. G. S. Mota,M. T. Rezkallah-Iwasso,Maria Terezinha Serrão Peraçoli,R. C. Audi,Rinaldo Poncio Mendes,J. Marcondes,Silvio Alencar Marques,Neuza Lima Dillon,Marcello Franco +8 more
TL;DR: A gamut of immunological reactivity in paracoccidioidomycosis is demonstrated, with a tendency towards an increased degree of cellular immunosuppression from the least severe (CIOF) to the most severe (APF) clinical form of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serology of paracoccidioidomycosis. II. Correlation between class-specific antibodies and clinical forms of the disease
L. Biagioni,M.J. Souza,L.G. Chamma,Rinaldo Poncio Mendes,Silvio Alencar Marques,N. G. S. Mota,Marcello Franco +6 more
TL;DR: The present data demonstrate a polyclonal activation of the humoral immune system in paracoccidioidomycosis, with a positive relationship between serological results and severity of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental paracoccidioidomycosis in the Syrian hamster. Morphology and correlation of lesions with humoral and cell-mediated immunity.
TL;DR: In this paper, male hamsters (105) received intratesticular injection of suspension of a live yeast phase culture ofParacoccidioides brasiliensis and were sacrificed weekly during 20 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mononuclear cell subsets in patients with different clinical forms of paracoccidioidomycosis.
N. G. S. Mota,M. T. S. Peraçoli,Rinaldo Poncio Mendes,Cerli Rocha Gattass,Silvio Alencar Marques,A. M. V. C. Soares,I.C. Izatto,M.T. Rezkallah-Iwasso +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with the acute form of the paracoccidioidomycosis exhibited high levels of suppressor/cytotoxic T cells and B cells, and these findings are of importance in attempts to understand the pathogenesis of this mycosis and also to evaluate its prognosis in individual patients.
