%X The IgE-mediated immune response against Strongyloides infection has been hypothesized
to down-regulate skin reactivity and limit interactions between allergens and IgE
on mast cells. Among patients with strongyloidiasis, we describe the relationship
between total IgE and absolute eosinophil counts (AEC) in patients with atopy (at
least one positive environmental skin prick test) versus patients with negative skin
prick test (SPT).
