Trichuris suis ova therapy for allergic rhinitis: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Parasitic helminth infections can protect against allergic airway inflammation in experimental models and have been associated with a reduced risk of atopy and a reduced course of asthma in some observational studies. Although no clinical evidence exists to support the use of helminth therapy for allergic disease, the helminth Trichuris suis has demonstrated efficacy in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
