Resumo

Histoplasma capsulatum causa micose sistêmica endêmica que depende da suscetibilidade do hospedeiro, da virulência fúngica e de  fatores associados ao processo infeccioso. Avaliamos a possível interferência do fenótipo de 12 amostras de H. capsulatum isolados de pacientes HIV positivos e negativos na obtenção de antígenos, visando o diagnóstico sorológico por meio do reconhecimento gênero-específico das frações H e M. Os antígenos foram avaliados por imunodifusão dupla, frente a  anticorpo policlonal anti-antígeno de H. capsulatum e  frente a amostras de soro de pacientes com histoplasmose. A avaliação fenotípica revelou diferenças, não só na identificação do agente fúngico, mas também na expressão dos antígenos H e M, considerados marcadores sorológicos da doença, associados à pigmentação e produção de conídios. Verificou-se que preparações antigênicas obtidas de H. capsulatum isoladas de pacientes HIV positivos podem ter capacidade antigênica satisfatória. O estado imunológico do paciente parece não interferir na expressão de proteínas antigênicas secretadas por H. capsulatum. No entanto, sugerimos que o uso prolongado de antirretrovirais e/ou esteróides pode causar alterações fenotípicas importantes. Verificou-se que algumas amostras fúngicas isoladas de pacientes com longo histórico de uso de imunossupressores produziram elementos celulares atípicos e baixa reatividade sorológica contra as frações H e M de H. capsulatum.
