Add to ORKGBackground The impact of intestinal helminth infection on the clinical presentation and immune response during active tuberculosis (TB) infection is not well characterized. Our aim was to investi-gate whether asymptomatic intestinal helminth infection alters the clinical signs and symp-toms as well as the cell mediated immune responses in patients with active TB. Methodology Consecutive, newly diagnosed TB patients and healthy community controls (CCs) were recruited in North-west Ethiopia. TB-score, body mass index and stool samples were ana-lyzed. Cells from HIV-negative TB patients (HIV-/TB) and from CCs were analyzed for regu-latory T-cells (Tregs) and cytokine responses using flow cytometry and ELISPOT, respectively. Results A significa...
