  • revisiting langerhans cells in Paracoccidioidomycosis expression of cd207 langerin in human cutaneous and mucosal lesions
    Microbes and Infection, 2011
    Co-Authors: Carla Pagliari, Elaine Raniero Fernandes, Wellington Luiz Ferreira Da Silva, Aline Alves De Lima Silva, Felipe Weisshaupt Stegun, Maria Irma Seixas Duarte, Mirian Nacagami Sotto
    Abstract:

    Abstract Langerhans cells are identified by the expression of langerin. We detected this molecule in cutaneous and mucosal lesions in Paracoccidioidomycosis, an important infection in Latin America. Langerin+ cells were scarcely distributed, with short dendrites in epidermis and epithelium and were frequent in the dermis and corium, in the inflammatory infiltrate and granulomas. Mucosal lesions presented a higher expression of langerin in lesions with loose granulomas. For the first time we presented the expression of langerin in Paracoccidioidomycosis. Positive cells in dermis and corium could represent migrating Langerhans cells or a new subset of langerin+ cells with a role in Paracoccidioidomycosis.

  • Paracoccidioidomycosis in a renal transplant recipient
    Journal of medical and veterinary mycology : bi-monthly publication of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Maria Aparecida Shikanai-yasuda, Maria Irma Seixas Duarte, D.f. Nunes, C.s. Lacaz, E. Sabagga, Edson Abdala, Alberto José Da Silva Duarte, Marta Heloísa Lopes
    Abstract:

    Paracoccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection rarely described in immunodeficient patients. We report a severe case of pulmonary Paracoccidioidomycosis in a renal transplant recipient and demonstrate deficiencies of in vitro lymphocytic transformation assays, skin hypersensitivity tests, as well as low levels of antibodies to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

  • Oral exfoliative cytology in the diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis.
    Acta cytologica, 2001
    Co-Authors: Marcelo Sivieri De Araújo, Ricardo Alves Mesquita, Luciana Corrêa, Suzana Cantanhede Orsini Machado De Sousa
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of conventional oral exfoliative cytology as a diagnostic tool in Paracoccidioidomycosis. STUDY DESIGN: Cytologic smears and incisional biopsies were obtained from 10 patients with a clinical suspicion and oral manifestations of Paracoccidioidomycosis. Cytologic smears and sections of the incisional biopsy underwent methenamine silver staining for fungi according to the Gomori-Grocott method. The dry glass slides were examined at 400 or 1,000x magnification, and the presence and shape of yeasts of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were investigated. RESULTS: Yeasts of the fungus P brasiliensis were clearly identified in cytologic smears and sections from incisional biopsies in all cases analyzed (100.0%). CONCLUSION: Cytology of oral samples proved an effective diagnostic method for the detection of Paracoccidioidomycosis in humans.

  • Evaluation of cytopathologic exam for diagnosis of oral chronic Paracoccidioidomycosis
    Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2003
    Co-Authors: Marcelo Sivieri De Araújo, Suzana C.o.m. Sousa, Dalmo Correia
    Abstract:

    With the aim of evaluating exfoliative cytology for the diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis oral lesions, eight patients that presented the disease were studied. The presence of fungi was demonstrated in all these cases. It was concluded that the oral exfoliative cytology exam can be effectively used in the diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis and contribute to the therapeutic control of oral forms of this mycosis.
