According to hygiene hypothesis, a lower exposure to infection is associated with the increase in allergic disease prevalence. This study aimed to investigate the association between atopy and Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) infection by analyzing the humoral and cellular immune responses in Tg-seropositive and -seronegative, atopic and non-atopic patients. A total of 275 individuals were assessed and divided into atopics (n=129) and non-atopics (n=146) based on markers of allergy (positive skin prick test and ELISA-IgE to mite allergens) or Tg-seropositive (n=116) and Tg-seronegative (n=159) groups according to infection serological markers (positive ELISA-IgG to T. gondii). Tg-seropositive individuals presented lower allergenic sensitization (37%)...
