Respiratory atopic disease, <i>Ascaris</i>‐immunoglobulin E and tuberculin testing in urban South African children

Abstract

These results suggest that immune response to Ascaris (Ascaris-sIgE) may be a risk factor of atopic disease in populations exposed to mild Ascaris infection and that MTB infection may be protective against this risk, probably by stimulation of anti-inflammatory networks.
