Anti-parasitic Treatment Modulates TH2 Response in Concomitant Asthma and Parasitic Infestation

Rationale There are close parallels between allergic inflammation caused by host immune responses to environmental allergens and that caused by parasitic antigens. Methods Based on history, clinical examination, stool and urine analysis for ova, spirometry and blood absolute eosinophils (BAE); eight...
