Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment of mice resulted in a significantly enhanced survival after disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection. The survival was associated with reduced fungal burden in tissues. LPS-pretreated mice had lower levels of cytokines in blood, spleen, and lungs and higher levels in brain. Pentoxifylline abolished the beneficial effect of LPS pretreatment.Entities:
