Immunogenic response to hymenolepiasis Nana

ABSTRACT

The relation between the level of serum immunoglobulins, percentage of T-lymphocytes and egg counts was studied in patients infected with Hymenolepis nana. A significant increase in the level of IgG, IgM and IgE was noticed. An inverse relationship between the concentration of IgG and egg counts on one side and a direct association between the percentage of T-lymphocytes and IgG level on the other side were proved. The significance of such observations was discussed
