Brief Summary: Innate immunity plays an important role for fungal recognition and initiation of fungicidal activity We hypothesize that subtle differences in different molecules of innate immunity may contribute to either the predisposition or clinical course of infection with Cryptococcus neoformans To test this hypothesis we propose to analyze the allelic frequencies of 15 different genes mannose binding lectin Fc-gamma receptor IIa and IIb Fc-gamma receptors IIIa and IIIb myeloperoxidase tumor necrosis factor-alpha and -beta interleukin 1A and 1B interleukin-1 receptor antagonist interleukin-10 NRAMP-1 chitotriosidase and chemokine receptor 5 and their intragenic polymorphic forms and to compare this data to the incidence and severity of C neoformans infection With this study we hope to identify a group of molecules of innate immunity which influence the risk and severity of invasive C neoformans infection
