Article Synopsis
- Helminth/tuberculosis (TB) coinfection can weaken the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and worsen disease severity, with effects varying by helminth species.
- The BCG vaccine for TB is currently available but has inconsistent effectiveness in preventing TB and its transmission.
- Recent findings show that TB patients with helminth coinfection may experience increased Mtb-specific antibody responses, but the precise impact of different helminth species on this humoral response remains unclear, necessitating further research.
