IL-17 Takes Center Stage in Dermatophytosis

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology
Florian Sparber, Salomé LeibundGut-Landmann

Abstract

The cytokine IL-17 plays a critical role in host defense against fungal infections. So far, clinical relevance for IL-17 antifungal activity focused on mucocutaneous candidiasis. Burstein and colleagues now provide evidence that type 17 immunity is also essential for defense against dermatophytosis.
