Abstract

Helminth infection is an important public health problem. Millions of people are infected with more than one type of intestinal worms such as mixed infection of hookworms, roundworms, and pinworms. Worm infections are generally associated with immune response often leads to clinical manifestations of the so called type-1 hypersensitivity (atopic allergy). However, populations exposed to helminth infections showed less symptoms of allergies. The aim of this study wanted to know the association between atopic allergy and worm diseases in primary school children so that if an allergy test cannot detect the presence of a reaction to certain allergens, it can be considered for examination on worm infection. This was an analytic observational study using cross sectional design approaches (cross-sectional). The sample selection is done by cluster sampling method was chosen for the pupil at Elementary School grade 3 to grade 6 are distributed pot for their feces, feces to be examined for the presence of worm eggs. Interviews were also conducted on parents / guardians of students of research subjects to determine the status of allergy in children by using standardized questionnaires that is called ISSAC. 84 students grades 3-6 which returns a pot that contains feces, a total of 26 children (31%) infected worms. Serum from 84 children who successfully checked by ELISA, there were 37 children (44%) who had atopy. The statistical test showed no significant association between worm T.trichiura infections and or A.lumbricoides and or Hookworm in children with atopic status (p = 0.353, C = 0.126). No association may caused by the distribution of both diseases do not overlapped.
