They alter the composition of their surface glycoproteins continuously in order to escape the host immune response. 3,4 Tissue damage is induced by either toxin production or immune complex reaction with release of proteolytic enzymes. Immune complexes have been demonstrated in both the circulation and the target organs of infected patients. Autoantibodies are frequently directed against antigen components of red cells, brain, and heart. Anemia due to hemolysis can result in further tissue destruction.
14 Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is also important in the control of Leishmania infections. It is involved in the resistance to several pathogens. It is produced by activated macrophages and NK cells and amplifies the macrophagic activation triggered by IFN-γ. 15 IL-12 is a cytokine produced by antigen-presenting cells (monocytes, macrophages, dentritic cells, and B cells). Its main biological activity is on T and NK cells, which are stimulated to produce IFN-γ. 17 Susceptibility to infection has been related to inadequate Th1 response: patients with mucosal lesions have been shown to have increased production of IFN-γ and TNF-α and decreased production of IL-10.
