Community deworming alleviates geohelminth-induced immune hyporesponsiveness
Abstract
Significance: Chronic helminth infections are accompanied by profound immune regulation. In humans, helminth-induced immune reactivity has not been thoroughly investigated in trial settings. We assessed the effect of anthelmintic treatment on immune responses in a whole community in a placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial. We show increased immune responses to helminth-specific as well as unrelated antigens, in parallel with decreased expression of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), which is a molecule involved in putting the brake on immune activation. Deworming seems to lead to decreased immunoregulation and increased immune responsiveness. These findings are of importance regarding the suboptimal vaccine responses in helminth-endemic areas and also in anticipating the future rise in inflammatory diseases when helminth infections are increasingly controlled.

“Modification of the host immune response to helminths affects how human subjects respond immunologically to other pathogens, such as those causing malaria 78 and tuberculosis 79 ; however, effects on clinically measurable outcomes are less clear.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
