Detection of Fusarium-specific T cells in hematologic patients with invasive fusariosis

- Invasive fusariosis (IF) is an emerging mould infection in hematologic patients.
- Fusarium-specific T cells are significantly higher in IF patients.
- In disseminated IF, specific T lymphocytes secretes pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- In pulmonary IF, we documented only the presence of IL10-secriting T cells.
- Fusarium-specific T cells could discriminate between different fungal pneumonias.
