delayed-type hypersensitivity(English)
- associated reactions are a prominent feature of several chronic diseases in humans, which for the most part are due to infectious agents, such as mycobacteria, protozoa and fungi. Important diseases include tuberculosis, leprosy, listeriosis, leishmaniasis, deep fungal infections (e.g. blastomycosis) and helminthic infections (e.g. schistosomiasis), which are caused by pathogens that represent a persistent, chronic, antigenic stimulus. In such cases, protective immunity and delayed hypersensitivity often occur but are not always coincidental
