Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.3K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

8.5K
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens

2.7K
The immune system's response to viral infections is a complex and coordinated process involving natural killer (NK) cells, T cell-mediated responses, and antibody-mediated responses.
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...

Allergic Drug Reactions01:27

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.6K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

8.6K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Medical Mycology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Fungal pathogens trigger host immune responses, starting with innate immunity for recognition and elimination.
  • The immune system balances tolerance and resistance to fungi like Candida albicans and Malassezia, crucial for commensal or pathogenic states.
  • Disruptions in this immune balance can lead to host pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore host immune responses to dermatomycoses caused by dimorphic fungi and dermatophytes.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms underlying host-dermatomycosis interactions.
  • To understand the immunomodulatory roles of fungi in healthy and diseased skin.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on host immune responses to fungal skin infections.
  • Analysis of the roles of innate and adaptive immunity in managing fungal pathogens.
  • Discussion of fungal immunomodulatory capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Innate immunity is the first line of defense against fungal pathogens, involving recognition and microbial killing.
  • Adaptive immunity, modulated by innate responses, establishes memory and protection.
  • Dimorphic fungi (e.g., Candida albicans, Malassezia) and dermatophytes (e.g., Trichophyton spp.) engage complex immune interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Host immune responses are critical for controlling fungal infections and maintaining skin homeostasis.
  • Fungal species exhibit diverse immunomodulatory strategies affecting skin health.
  • Further understanding of host-fungus interactions is essential for managing dermatomycoses.
