The Relationship

AbstractToxoplasma gondiiis a food-borne and orofecal microorganism which produces chronic infection, and attempts have been made to prove its negative association with atopy in the context of the hygiene hypothesis.Anisakis simplexis a fish parasite associated with chronic urticaria (CU) in endemic regions. We analysed the relationship between both infectious agents in CU. We included 42 patients with chronic urticaria (18 patients with CU associated withA. simplexsensitization and 24 not sensitized CU patients). Patients were assessed for atopy by a skin prick test (SPT) against common aeroallergens and for respiratory symptoms.Anisakis simplexsensitization was assessed by SPT and specific IgE by CAP fluoro-enzyme immunoassay (CAP-FEIA). Anti-T. gondiiIgG levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CU patients were analysed with respect toT. gondiiseropositivity,A. simplexsensitization, atopy and immigrant status. The seroprevalence ofT. gondiiwas 40.5% in CU patients and 42.1% in the control group. Immigrants were more frequently infected byT. gondii(41.2% versus 12%;P =0.036). Anti-T. gondiiIgG antibodies were associated with pastA. simplexparasitism (odds ratio 6.73;P =0.03) and independently with atopic sensitization (odds ratio 5.85;P =0.04). In CU patients,T. gondiihas no protective effect on atopic sensitization orA. simplexsensitization.
