Influence of helminths on the development of allergic diseases (Literature review)

Abstract

Helminths has always been a global challenge to the humanity causing a range of serious illnesses. However, there is more and more evidence that the influence of helminths on the human body is inversely correlated with some allergic diseases mediated by the Th2 response. Accordingly, recently there has been an increased interest in a more detailed study of this issue as there is a possibility of the potential therapeutic use of helminths and their derivatives in allergic diseases.
