Cellular cytokine and chemokine responses to parasite antigens and fungus and mite allergens in children co-infected with helminthes and protozoa parasites

Table 4 Parasite infections in children evaluated for skin prick test reactivity

Children were grouped according to presence or absence of infection and by parasite species. Without infection were Group G0 = NEG, children with single infection were Group G1, with double infection were Group G2 and with three and more parasite infections were Group G3+. Infections are listed by parasite species and abbreviations are shown: Na = Necator americanus; Eh = Entamoeba histolytica/dispar; Gl = Giardia lamblia; Hn = Hymenolepis nana; Sh = Schistosoma haematobium; Sm = Schistosoma mansoni; Ti-Trichomonas intestinalis.
