The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between asthma and toxocariasis.
We have studied 76 patients with asthma and 88 controls (without asthma) aged 5-16 years. An ELISA test based on the detection of anti-Toxocara canis (E/S antigen) serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and E (IgE) was done in both groups. Ordinary allergens and E/S antigen of T. canis infections were used to evaluate cutaneous reactivity.
Seroprevalence in asthma patients was 68.42% and in the controls 13.63%. This difference was significant. The percentage of asthmatic patients with two anti-Toxocara antibodies was 26.31%, and of 4.54% in controls. All asthma patients with anti-Toxocara IgE had cutaneous reactivity to Ag E/S.
Asthma patients with anti-Toxocara IgE and IgG may have toxocariasis.
本研究的目的是探讨哮喘与弓蛔虫病之间的关系。
我们研究了76例年龄在5至16岁的哮喘患者和88例对照者(无哮喘)。两组均进行了基于检测抗犬弓蛔虫(E/S抗原)血清免疫球蛋白G(IgG)和E(IgE)的酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)试验。使用普通变应原和犬弓蛔虫感染的E/S抗原评估皮肤反应性。
哮喘患者的血清阳性率为68.42%,对照者为13.63%。这一差异具有显著性。有两种抗弓蛔虫抗体的哮喘患者百分比为26.31%,对照者为4.54%。所有抗弓蛔虫IgE的哮喘患者对Ag E/S均有皮肤反应性。
具有抗弓蛔虫IgE和IgG的哮喘患者可能患有弓蛔虫病。
