Research in fungal pathogenesis offers new hope of vaccine strategies for immunosupressed patients.(Brief Article)
2002 MAY 29 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Scientists at Harbor-UCLA Research and Education Institute (REI) are providing new hope for improved prevention and treatment of life-threatening infections caused by fungal pathogens.
Working under the leadership of Dr. John E. Edwards, Jr., director, Center for Emerging Infections, REI and chief, division of adult infectious disease, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, this group has discovered new insights into the mechanisms by which pathogenic fungi adhere to human tissue to gain an advantage in the onset and progression of serious infections. These discoveries provide powerful new possibilities to develop vaccines to protect individuals at increased risk of such infections.
In the last decade, microorganisms previously believed to be relatively harmless have emerged as among the most dangerous. The fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, is a daunting example of this problem. For many individuals, this fungus can be routinely found on skin, in genitourinary sites, and in the mouth. For those suffering from conditions or treatments that compromise immunity, including chemotherapy, renal dialysis, organ ...
