Genetic variability of innate immunity impacts human susceptibility to fungal diseases
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 11/03/09

Carvalho A et al. – Fungi are a major threat in immunocompromised patients. Despite presenting similar degrees of immunosuppression, not all individuals at–risk ultimately develop fungal diseases. The traditional view of immune suppression as a key risk factor for susceptibility to fungal infections needs to be accommodated within new conceptual advances on host immunity and its relationship to fungal disease. The critical role of the immune system emphasizes the contribution of host genetic polymorphisms to fungal disease susceptibility.
