چکیده
Methods Healthy Greek schoolchildren were investigated for E. vermicularis eggs with the adhesive-tape test. Sixty four of those, who were found parasitized and 67 matched controls were further assessed, using hematological and serological immune parameters, such as Eosinophil number (Eo count), serum Eosinophilic Cationic Protein (ECP), total and specific Immunoglobulin E (ΙgΕ) and the ratio of ECP/Eo count. In addition, certain cytokines were measured in parasitized children. These parameters were compared between not-parasitized and parasitized children, taking into account their atopic status, as well as history of clinically expressed allergic diseases.
