title: [Biochemical regulations in the dimorphism and virulence of pathogenic fungi for humans].
abstract: Some biochemical mechanisms involved in the processes of virulence and dimorphism in fungi pathogenic for humans are reviewed. Among them, the participation of sulphydryl and disulfide groups, hormone receptors and intra- and extracellular proteinases in Histoplasma capsulatum, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Coccidioides immitis.
