To assess the possible influence of atopy on the clinical picture of human toxocariasis, a retrospective study was carried out using file records for patients who attended the Outpatient Clinic of Parasitology in Toulouse University Hospitals. A total of 106 file records for patients who had been diagnosed with common/covert toxocariasis were extracted from the database. Forty-nine patients (20 females and 29 males) were considered atopic since they exhibited a long (≥ 1 year) history of various allergic issues along with a titer ≥ 0.7 kIU/L for specific IgE against at least two out of nine mixes of common inhalant allergens. Fifty-seven patients (42 females and 15 males) were designated nonatopic on the basis of a negative result (<0.35 kIU/L) of the test for specific IgE. Demographic (age and sex), clinical (20 signs or symptoms) and laboratory (blood eosinophil count, eosinophil cationic protein, serum total IgE, and specific anti-Toxocara IgE) variables were investigated by bivariate analysis followed by multivariate regression analysis using “atopy” as the outcome variable. On the basis of our results, the clinical or laboratory picture of toxocaral disease was not affected by the presence of an atopic status.

AbstractAmong 67 French patients presenting a toxocaral infection, various demographic, environmental, clinical and laboratory parameters (blood eosinophil count, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), serum total IgE, specific IgE against common inhalant allergens, specific IgE and IgG4 againstToxocaraexcretory-secretory antigens) were investigated. Correlation studies and logistic regression analyses were conducted, testing elevated levels of ECP, specific anti-ToxocaraIgE or IgG4 as outcome variables An elevated ECP level was significantly associated with both cough and rhinitis, a high level of specific anti-ToxocaraIgE with itchy rashes and possible atopic status, and an increase of specific anti-ToxocaraIgG4 with rural residence.
