Resposta imune a Candida albicans

Abstract: Candida albicans causa infecções na pele, cavidade oral e esôfago, trato gastrointestinal, vagina e sistema vascular de humanos. As infecções ocorrem em hospedeiros imunocomprometidos ou pacientes debilitados. Acima de 90% dos pacientes HIV+ sofrem de candidíase de mucosas ao menos uma vez no decorrer da doença. A severidade e cronicidade da candidíase oral em pacientes com AIDS são atribuídas, principalmente, à imunodeficiência induzida pelo HIV nos indivíduos afetados, a saber, perda de funções de célula T a… Show more

“…In cases of invasive candidiasis, these factors may be associated with the host and health care (Yapar 2014). Aspects such as immunosuppression, skin and mucosal rupture, defects in the number and function of neutrophils or cell-mediated immunity, metabolic dysfunction, age extremes (Pfaller & Diekema 2007), in addition to antibiotic therapy, corticotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, catheterization, use of tubes and catheters (Costa et al 2008) are factors that contribute to the increase in infections by opportunistic fungi. In the present study, species already described in environmental and clinical samples were identified (Storti et al 2012, Colombo et al 2014, Fu et al 2017, Goemaere et al 2018).…”

“…A Candida albicans é uma levedura diploide que causa, de forma oportunista, algumas infecções (candidíase ou candidose). Sua virulência e patogenicidade estão atribuídas a diversos fatores como por exemplo, formação de pseudo-hifas que auxiliam na penetração epitelial e desenvolvimento de biofilmes causando resistências a estresses biológicos, químicos e físicos e assim, dificultando o sucesso no uso de biocidas e antimicrobianos (COSTA;FELIPE;GAZIRI, 2008).…”
