摘要: Pythiosis is a life-threatening disease caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. Some authors have suggested involvement of Th2-like immune response in infected host, which leads to extensive tissue damage. The switch from Th2 Th1 pattern one hypothesis explain curative properties immunotherapy. Taking into account importance immunotherapy for pythiosis treatment and contribution adenine nucleotides immunoregulation we evaluated ecto-adenosine deaminase (E-ADA; EC 3·5.4·4) activity lymphocytes rabbits inoculated with P. insidiosum. Rabbits were 1 milliliter zoospores subcutaneously injected lateral thorax; after developing lesions, received eight doses E-ADA was measured adenosine levels quantitatively determined serum. characteristic lesions showed decreased (82·36%), triphosphate concentration (54·04%) higher (2·51 fold), when compared controls, 28 days inoculation. However, immunotherapy, an increase control (78·62%), contributing change response. Our results reinforce that participation purinergic system could be responsible Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
