title: The role of cytokines and chemokines in Histoplasma capsulatum infection.
abstract: Histoplasma capsulatum is a prevalent fungal pathogen in the United States, infecting approximately 500,000 individuals each year. Host protection requires an intact cell-mediated immune response. In this review, we will discuss how cytokines and chemokines influence protective immunity in H. capsulatum infection.
