Association between helminth infection and allergic disorders among children in Batu, Ethiopia

20242 citationsOpen accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

This study found a non-significant inverse association between helminths infection and atopy and allergic disorders, likely due to reduced statistical power, resulting in a lower prevalence of atopy and allergic conditions. A high powered longtitudinal study is necessary to explore the casuality and potential therapeutic benefits of helminths for allergic disorders.
