摘要: It has been recognized that Schistosoma mansoni infection causes depression of T-cell responsiveness. In this study we have evaluated whether immunodepression associated to schistosomiasis could be reverted by specific treatment. immune response was assessed means intradermal tests using recall antigens in a group 22 patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, one year after treatment oxamniquine and compared untreated patients. Only 27% treated presented complete anergy all tested antigens, marked contrast 80% unresponsiveness showed without Although most the individuals some still persisted Anergy not found any normal individual control group. concluded infected may recover their responsiveness elimination worm
