Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Development Is Aggravated by Candida albicans Infection

Figure 3

Effect of C. albicans on EAE development. C57BL/6 mice were infected with C. albicans 3 days before EAE induction. Disease development was followed during 21 days. Clinical scores (a) were checked every day and are expressed as mean; maximum clinical score (b) and % of body weight loss (c) were calculated as described in Methods section. The results (a and b) are expressed as mean ± SD ( mice/group). Unpaired test, indicates difference between EAE and EAE+Ca groups.
