Background: epidemiological studies have focused on possible association between helminth infection and the development of asthma and/or allergies. Objectives: to evaluate the association between helminth infection and asthma and its relation to serum levels of total and specific IgE for A. lumbricoides and aeroallergens, besides evaluating possible relation between BCG scar and allergic sensitization. Methods: cross sectional study in 400 schoolchildren from two Amazon Islands. A standardized written questionnaire (asthma module) from International Study of Asthma, Allergies in Childhood protocol was administered and asthmatic children were those with current wheezing.
