Biomedical scientists widely acknowledge that individuals' immune
respon siveness is important in resistance to infections by
microorganisms, including fungi. Because of the devastating
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, caused by the
human immunodeficiency retrovirus, it is now accepted that
suppressed immune responses, especially cellular immu nity, are
important contributors to increased individual susceptibility to
opportunistic infections-including infections caused by fungi which
were at one time thought to be very lowly or nonpathogenic. Within
the last few years, there has been an almost explosive increase in
interest and studies concerning the nature and mechanisms of the
immune response to fungal infections. Many immunologists who are
not well versed in mycology have begun to study the nature and
mechanisms of antifungal immunity using a wide variety of newer as
well as more conventional immunologic technologies, both in vivo
and in vitro. Up to the 1980s, however, there was little interest
among basic immunologists concerning fungal immunity. This
situation has changed dramatically in the past half decade, mainly
because of AIDS."
