The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections (IP) in children with atopic asthma (AA) is similar to that in healthy children. However, asthmatic children with IP showed fewer symptoms, suggesting potential modulation of parasitic infections in AA.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Limited research exists on the relationship between intestinal parasitic infections (IP) and atopic asthma (AA).
  • Existing studies present discordant results, potentially due to variations in study design and population selection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the prevalence of IP in children with AA versus a control group (CG).
  • To investigate clinical and laboratorial parameters associated with IP in asthmatic children.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 63 children (47 with AA, 16 in CG) aged 6-11 years.
  • Inclusion of clinical and laboratorial parameters for IP assessment.
  • Comparison of IP prevalence and symptomology between AA and CG.

Main Results:

  • IP prevalence was 21.3% in children with AA and 25% in the CG.
  • 40% of AA children with IP reported symptoms, compared to 100% of CG children with IP.
  • No statistically significant difference in IP prevalence between AA and CG (p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • IP prevalence does not differ significantly between children with AA and CG.
  • Further research is needed to understand the lower symptom rates of IP in asthmatic children, possibly due to parasite load modulation.
