SIGNS OF ASCARIASIS IN PATIENTS WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

Bronchial asthma is a chronic imflammatory disease of respiratory tract associated with a significant reduction in quality of life in patients. There are many risk factors of bronchial asthma, among which an important role is probably played by helminthiases. We have evaluated the influence of ascariasis on the course of bronchial asthma. It was found that patients with positive results of parasitologic examination tend to have the more severe course of bronchial asthma.
