Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Brazil. The main clinical forms of PCM are the acute or juvenile form (JF) characterized by a Th2 immune response and chronic or adult form (AF), with a Th1 and Th17 profile. In spite of significant improvement in the antifungal therapy in last years, its efficacy is still lim…
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the retention of lipids and immune cells in the arterial intima. Among them, monocytes are the first cells to be recruited differentiating into macrophages and contributing to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. Recent studies have shown that circulating monocytes are a heterogeneous population composed of three cell…
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the intima of the arteries and is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, accounting for approximately 30% of annual deaths in Brazil. In atherosclerosis there is an imbalance between inflammatory and anti- inflammatory response which leads to the appearance of lesions and their complications. Several studies show the involv…
Infections caused by fungi are among the most life-threatening diseases. The paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), caused by the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Brazil and the leading cause of death among immunocompetent individuals. Despite significant developments in antifungal chemotherapy, its efficacy remains limited since drug therapy is prolo…
