Common polymorphisms in critical genes of innate immunity do not contribute to the risk for chronic disseminated candidiasis in adult leukemia patients.

Abstract excerpt

Chronic disseminated candidiasis is a serious fungal infection in immunocompromised patients, particularly those undergoing therapy for acute leukemia. Coordination between innate and adaptive immune system is critical to resistance or susceptibility to Candida infection. In order to investigate possible genetic contribution to chronic disseminated candidiasis of key molecules in the innate immune pathway, we...
