Influence of polymorphisms in innate immunity genes on susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis after stem cell transplantation.

Influence of polymorphisms in innate immunity genes on susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis after stem cell transplantation.

The innate immune system plays a pivotal role in the primary defence against invasive fungal infection. Genetic variation in genes that regulate this response, initiated by pulmonary macrophages, may influence susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis in patients at risk. We investigated in a clinica...
