Granulomatous reactions induced by lipids extracted from Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Fonsecaea compactum, Cladosporium carrionii and Phialophora verrucosum. 1985

C L Silva, and S M Ekizlerian

Granulomatous reactions induced by lipid extracts from the dermatophyte fungi Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Fonsecaea compactum, Cladosporium carrionii and Phialophora verrucosum, the causal organisms of chromoblastomycosis, were studied. Charcoal particles coated with the lipid extracts were prepared and injected intravenously into mice. Inflammation was characterized by an intense mononuclear cell infiltrate that lodged in the lung from 4 to 8 d after inoculation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007249	Inflammation	A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

D008055	Lipids	A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014774	Virulence	The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS.	Pathogenicity
