Immunoresponses in dermatomycoses

Abstract

Contact with fungal pathogens initiates a series of host responses beginning with innate immunity, which leads to fungal recognition and microbial killing. The innate immune system also modulates the adaptive immune responses, leading to the establishment of immunological memory and protection against pathogens. In the case of dimorphic fungi such as Candida albicans and Malassezia, the immune system plays an important role in tolerance and resistance when managing the organisms either as commensal microbiota or invading pathogens, and disruption of this balance can result in pathological consequences for the host. In addition, Malassezia and dermatophytes have immunomodulatory capabilities that allow them to adapt to their environments and they may exert different effects in healthy and diseased skin. Here, we discuss the host immune responses to dermatomycoses caused by dimorphic fungi such as C. albicans and Malassezia as well as dermatophytes such as Trichophyton spp. and Arthroderma benhamiae to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of the host-dermatomycosis interaction.
