Abstrakt:	A study conducted by researchers at the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil explores the relationship between helminth infections and allergic illnesses. The study investigates the structural and functional similarities between house-dust mite allergens and helminth proteins, and how these similarities contribute to the cross-induction of IgE responses in allergies and helminthiasis. The findings suggest that understanding these cross-reactions could lead to the development of more specific serological testing for mite-induced allergies and helminthiasis in the future. The study provides valuable insights into the potential influence of helminths on the immune system during childhood. [Extracted from the article]
