As infectious diseases can cause DNA damage, the authors aimed at analyzing DNA breakage in peripheral blood cells of patients with paracoccidioidomycosis by using the comet assay. The results suggested that paracoccidioidomycosis does not cause genotoxicity.476-478engComet assayDNAGenotoxicityParacoccidioides brasiliensisParacoccidioidomycosisadultanalysis of varianceanalytic methodblood cellclinical articlecomet assaycomparative studycontrolled studyDNA damageDNA strand breakagegenotoxicityhumanmycologyserologySouth American blastomycosisAdultComet AssayDNA DamageHumansLeukocytes, MononuclearParacoccidioidomycosis: No genetic damage in human peripheral blood cells of patients assessed by single-cell gel (comet) assayArtigo10.1590/S0037-86822007000400021S0037-86822007000400021WOS:000249209400021Acesso aberto2-s2.0-345485952052-s2.0-34548595205.pdf50511187529809038789480458377552
