Differential induction of Th1-prone immunity by human dendritic cells activated with Sporothrix schenckii of cutaneous and visceral origins to determine their different virulence

Abstract excerpt

Sporotrichosis is caused by a thermo-dependent dimorphic fungus, Sporothrix schenckii. The major clinical manifestations occur in the skin; however, cases of visceral manifestations have also been increasingly reported with some being observed in immune compromised patients. Different virulence of individual S. schenckii strain as well as immune status of the host could contribute to form such different clinical...
