Chloroquine induces human macrophage killing of Histoplasma capsulatum by limiting the availability of intracellular iron and is therapeutic in a murine model of histoplasmosis.
We investigated the role of intracellular iron on the capacity of Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) yeasts to multiply within human macrophages (Mphi). Coculture of Hc-infected Mphi with the iron chelator deferoxamine suppressed the growth of yeasts in a concentration-dependent manner. The effect of defer...
