Host defence mechanisms against fungal infection

Abstract
Recent concepts on the role of non-specific (normal) and specific (immune) defence mechanisms against fungal infection are discussed on the basis of the evidence obtained from experimental animals. Commonly occurring systemic mycoses, i.e. candidosis (candidiasis), cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis, are discussed.
