Intestinal helminth infections may protect against allergen skin test reactivity in endemic areas and it has been suggested that IL-10 may mediate this effect. We investigated if IL-10 and populations of IL-10+ T cells may modulate atopy in children living in an endemic area for intestinal helminth parasites. Ecuadorian school children from rural communities were assessed for allergen skin test reactivity to Periplaneta americana and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Skin test positive (n=39) and skin test negative (n=41) children were bled and peripheral blood leukocytes were cultured in the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides antigen to measure IL-10 protein and the frequencies of T cell populations expressing intracellular IL-10. We investigated also if these immunological factors affected the association between specific IgE and skin test reactivity to aeroallergens. There was no evidence of associations between levels of A. lumbricoides-induced IL-10 protein or IL-10+ T cells and allergen skin test reactivity. The association between allergen-specific IgE and skin test reactivity was not affected by levels of IL-10 protein or the frequencies of IL-10+ T cells. Our data do not support a role for IL-10 in modulating atopy in children living in an intestinal helminth-endemic area of the tropics.
