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 is a chronic mycosis limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused, mainly, by the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The infection is characterized by erythematous papules and the histological sections composed of an external layer of fibrous tissue and an internal layer of thick granulomatous inflammatory tissue containing macrophages, Neutrophils, eosinophils and lymp…
The complement system (CS) is responsible for killing microorganisms due to opsonization, phagocytosis and formation of membrane attack complex (MAC). CS also contributes to inflammation by generating C3a and C5a anaphylatoxins; releasing chemotactic factors and clearance of soluble immune complexes. This system is composed by more than 40 proteins, including regulatory proteins that avoi…
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…
