Enhanced allergic inflammation and airway responsiveness in rats with chronic Cryptococcus neoformans infection: potential role for fungal pulmonary infection in the pathogenesis of asthma. J Infect Dis2006;193:1178–86 [OpenUrl][1][Abstract/FREE Full Text][2] The potential of pulmonary Cryptococcus neoformans infection in immunocompetent subjects to modify allergic inflammation and airway responsiveness was investigated using a rat model. Rats were inoculated with C neoformans either endotracheally or intravenously. Four modes of infection were studied: short term and persistent localised pulmonary infection, resolved pulmonary infection, … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DJ%2BInfect%2BDis%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1086%252F501363%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F16544260%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/ijlink?linkType=ABST&journalCode=jinfdis&resid=193/8/1178&atom=%2Fthoraxjnl%2F61%2F8%2F705.atom
