Background Eosinophils mediate the immune response in different infectious conditions.
The release of extracellular DNA traps (ETs) by leukocytes has been described as an innate
immune response mechanism that is relevant in many disorders including fungal diseases.
Different stimuli induce the release of human eosinophil ETs (EETs). Aspergillus fumigatus
is an opportunistic fungus that may cause eosinophilic allergic bronchopulmonary
aspergillosis (ABPA). It has been reported that eosinophils are important to the clearance of …
