Lung tissue mechanics in the early stages of induced paracoccidioidomycosis in rats

Lung tissue mechanics in the early stages of induced paracoccidioidomycosis in rats

Pulmonary dysfunction represents the most important cause of death in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis (PBM). In order to investigate the functional changes of the lungs in the early stages of PBM, a model of benign disease was developed by intratracheal challenge of 12-week old isogenic Wistar...
