ABSTRACT
Studies on host-parasite interaction in Jorge Lobo's disease are scarce, with no report in the literature on the phagocytosis of Lacazia loboi by phagocytic mononuclear cells. Thus, the objective of the present study was to assess the phagocytic activity of blood monocytes in the presence of L. loboi in patients with the disease and in healthy subjects (controls) over 3 and 24 hours of incubation. Statistical analyses of the results showed no significant difference in percent phagocytosis of the fungus between patient and control monocytes. With respect to incubation time, however, there was a significant difference, in that percent phagocytosis was higher at 3 hours than at 24 hours (p <0.01). These results suggest that monocytes from patients with the mycosis are able to phagocyte the fungus, as also observed in control individuals
RESUMO
Os estudos envolvendo a interação hospedeiro-parasita na doença de Jorge Lobo são escassos; até o momento, não existe nenhum trabalho abordando a fagocitose do fungo Lacazia loboi pelas células mononucleares fagocitárias. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a atividade fagocítica dos monócitos sangüíneos frente ao L. loboi tanto em pacientes portadores da doença como em indivíduos sadios (grupo controle), utilizando 3 e 24 horas de incubação. A análise estatística dos resultados revelou que não houve diferença significante entre o percentual de fagocitose do fungo pelos monócitos de pacientes e do grupo controle, porém em relação aos tempos de incubação, houve diferença significante, isto é, às 3 horas o percentual de fagocitose foi maior que o obtido às 24 horas (p<0,01). Estes resultados sugerem que monócitos de pacientes portadores da micose são hábeis em fagocitar o fungo, à semelhança do que foi visto em indivíduos do grupo controle
