“…Additionally, the clinical experience in Intensive Care Units revealed a putative correlation between an invasive pulmonary Aspergillosis spp. and a refractory state in septic patients [ 6 ]. In this regard we explore the effect of galactomannan as a potential regulator of inflammation.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated invasion by fungi occurring primarily in the setting of immunosuppression or during refractory states [ 4 , 5 ]. Septic patients, with normal immune function prior Intensive Care Unit admission, developed a refractory status and, subsequently, an invasive pulmonary aspergillosis [ 6 ]. We have generalized a refractory state caused by the presence of bacteria which may lead to the invasion of fungal infections.…”

“…An immune refractory state similar to that of endotoxin tolerance has been observed in immunocompetent patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. 36 Based on these findings, in the in vitro study of Toledano et al, monocytes exposed to galactomannan, a component of growing fungi cell membranes, showed a significant down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines without its previous increase. 37 The hypothesis of this study is that preconditioning with lipopolysaccharide and galactomannan produces an immunomodulatory effect through the endotoxin tolerance mechanism, capable of delaying acute rejection.…”

Os agentes etiológicos envolvidos nessas infecções englobam leveduras, fungos filamentosos e fungos dimórficos (3, 4).O número de infecções fúngicas têm aumentado como resultado do aumento de indivíduos suscetíveis, tendo como exemplo pacientes com AIDS, receptores de célulastronco hematopoiéticas ou transplante de órgãos sólidos, pacientes com neoplasias malignas, indivíduos com condições imunológicas que exigem tratamento imunossupressor, pacientes passando por antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro ou prolongada, neonatos prematuros e pacientes idosos(2,5,6). Quantificar a taxa global das doenças fúngicas é um grande desafio.…”
