Abstract: La fascioliasis es una trematodiasis de transmisión alimentaria con distribución mundial. Los niños menores de 15 años presentan la prevalencia más alta de infección. Hipotetizamos que la fascioliasis aguda está asociada a cambios más pronunciados en las citocinas en comparación con la enfermedad crónica o ausencia de infección por helmintos. Para probar esta hipótesis, se clasificó en 3 grupos a 33 niños que viven en zonas andinas de Perú: fascioliasis aguda, fascioliasis crónica, y sin infección por helminto. Se midió en plasma citocinas tipo Th1, Th2 y Th17 con matriz de microesferas citométrica. Niños con infección aguda presentaron niveles elevados de IL-5 e IL-17 comparado con controles (p < 0.001 y p < 0.007, respectivamente). El incremento de IL-5 plasmática en niños con infección aguda se asoció con la eosinofilia encontrada en ese grupo.
Fascioliasis is a foodborne trematode endemic worldwide. Children under 15 years have the highest prevalence of infection. We hypothesized that acute fascioliasis would be associated with more pronounced cytokine changes than in chronic disease or no helminth infections. To test this hypothesis, 33 children who lived in the Peruvian highlands were classified into 3 groups: acute fascioliasis, chronic fascioliasis, and no helminth infection. Type Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines were measured in plasma by cytometric bead array. Children with acute infection had higher levels of IL-5 and IL-17 compared with controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.007, respectively). The increased IL-5 plasma concentration in children with acute infection was associated with the eosinophilia found in that group.
