Systemic mycosis, Immune SystemAbstract
Natural host resistance mechanisms against most mycotic agents act in a coordinated manner to prevent the proliferation of agents. The cooperative process betwen first line defenses and cell mediated immunity elicits production of substances that can increase the activity of phagocytic cells or mechanisms for killing fungi. Immunological factors that prevent establishement of fungal infections include: physical, mechanical and chemical barriers, cellular resistance mechanisms, humoral immunity and cell mediated immunity.
