Abstract:
Some fish parasites can cause a variety of symptoms in humans, including allergies. This was a cross-sectional study based on interviews, serum analysis by ELISA for anti-Pterobothrium heteracanthum IgG and a statistical evaluation. Four individuals were seroreactive (6.25%), with no association with fish handling (p = 1.000) or with ingestion more than twice a week (p = 0.232). There was a significant association (p = 0.032) between reactivity and the absence of allergy symptoms. Seroreactivity against P. heteracanthum in humans was detected, but was not associated with the amount of fish ingested, handled, or with allergic complaints.
