Fungal Antigens

08/01/2020 - "Exposure to fungi in patients with asthma leads to the release of various fungal antigens, which can increase the severity of asthma. "
10/01/2011 - "S. commune may also be a causative fungal antigen of bronchial asthma."
10/01/2010 - "One hundred and twenty-six asthma patients were screened using twelve common fungal antigens; forty patients (31.74%) were found to be skin test positive, and ABPM was diagnosed in ten patients (7.93%). "
12/01/1994 - "However, persons with severe asthma include individuals infected with and sensitized to fungal antigens. "
01/01/2013 - "This data suggests that asthma symptoms might be exacerbated by the inhalation of live or dead spores in individuals with established allergy to fungal antigens, although the extent of symptoms was less with dead spores. "

01/01/2002 - "A better understanding of reciprocal regulation between innate, humoral and adaptive immune responses in the development of an optimal antifungal immunity and, in particular, the improved definition of fungal antigens, may lead to a clarification of the mechanisms involved in host immunity to fungal infections. "
09/03/2021 - "Serum (1→3)-β-D-glucan (BDG), an pan fungal antigen, is detected in some invasive fungal diseases (IFDs). "
09/01/2021 - "The aim was to provide an updated 2021 inventory of fungal antigen and serology tests for diagnosing invasive and chronic fungal infections, the key focus was set on Aspergillus, Candida and Cryptococcus species. "
09/01/2005 - "The purpose of this review is to discuss the use of recombinant fungal antigens in the diagnosis of mycoses."
11/01/1997 - "Fungal antigens with good reactivity and specificity are essential for the immunodiagnosis of systemic mycoses. "

01/01/1980 - "The allergic bronchopulmonary mycoses (ABPM) are characterized by dual antibody response which includes immediate Type I and delayed Type III Arthus reactions to fungal antigens. "
07/01/2016 - "Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal antigens, which may particularly plague uncontrolled asthmatics. "
01/01/2015 - "Improved Detection of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Arising during Leukemia Treatment Using a Panel of Host Response Proteins and Fungal Antigens."
09/01/2021 - "Pubmed search for publications with the key words fungal antigen tests, laboratory-based diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, invasive candidiasis, invasive fungal infections and cryptococcal infections published from 2017 to 2020. "

01/01/1999 - "Occupational exposure to bacterial or fungal antigens has been associated with hypersensivity pneumonitis (HP), an immunologically-mediated pulmonary disease. "
03/01/1986 - "Preliminary data holds promise for the noninvasive diagnosis of deep-seated candidiasis (including pneumonia) and pulmonary aspergillosis by the detection of fungal antigens in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. "
03/01/1986 - "For instance, uncommon presentations of diseases with the pathogenic fungi, such as chronic cavitary histoplasmosis, coccidioidal empyema, and cryptococcal pneumonia are often difficult to diagnose with present techniques, and the detection of fungal antigens may prove to be more sensitive. "
04/01/1983 - "In contrast, minimal, focal quantities of fungal antigens were detected in lung tissue specimens from nine subjects with thrush or aspiration but without pulmonary candidiasis; no antigen was detected in 40 additional cases of noncandidal mycotic, bacterial, viral, and parasitic pneumonias. "

04/01/1983 - "In nine cases of invasive pulmonary candidiasis, fungal antigens were abundant in lung specimens and were distributed in two immunohistologic patterns. "
03/01/1986 - "Preliminary data holds promise for the noninvasive diagnosis of deep-seated candidiasis (including pneumonia) and pulmonary aspergillosis by the detection of fungal antigens in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. "
09/21/2011 - "Long-lasting behavioral allodynia in a subset of mice was also observed after a single, extended Candida infection, as well as after repeated vulvar (but not hind paw) inflammation induced with zymosan, a mixture of fungal antigens. "
04/01/1983 - "In contrast, minimal, focal quantities of fungal antigens were detected in lung tissue specimens from nine subjects with thrush or aspiration but without pulmonary candidiasis; no antigen was detected in 40 additional cases of noncandidal mycotic, bacterial, viral, and parasitic pneumonias.
