Many recent epidemiologic and experimental data showed immunomodulatory action of several helminths. Of particular interest have been the results demonstrating that helminths infections are able to inhibit the development of autoimmune processes and pathology in animal experimental models, and probably in humans. The article presents and discusses selected aspects of this novel therapeutic approach which seems particularly important for combat a dramatic rise in the incidence of allergy and autoimmune diseases in the West.
最近的许多流行病学和实验数据显示了几种蠕虫的免疫调节作用。特别令人感兴趣的是那些表明蠕虫感染能够在动物实验模型中，可能也在人类中抑制自身免疫过程和病理发展的结果。本文介绍并讨论了这种新型治疗方法的某些方面，这一方法对于应对西方过敏和自身免疫性疾病发病率的急剧上升似乎尤为重要。
