Immune response to purified protein derivative in infants from helminth-sensitized mothers — A cases series

ConclusionInfants with Th1 and Th2 profile chemokines demonstrated a good response to vaccination, indicated by CXCL10 levels, but not infants predominantly Th2-skewed profile. These results highlight that children from mothers sensitized to S. mansoni may lead to ineffective immune response to PPD, while mothers sensitized to Ascaris lumbricoides showed no such impairment.
