Infecciones parasitarias y su rol en la modulación de la respuesta inmunitaria en la infección por el sars-cov-2: revisión bibliográfica

Abstract

The coronavirus outbreak was declared by the WHO as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, affecting most countries and generating a high mortality rate, producing common symptomatology. Parasitic infections generate a long life in the host without causing symptoms, produces a balance between the pro-inflammatory and antiinflammatory response.

Resistant studies have shown on the potential modulation of the beneficial parasites (helminths) in Covid-19 patients. This article aims to inform about the parasitic infection that modulates the immune response against COVID-19, updates are provided on all the relevant information found, In order that health professionals can continue to investigate this type of infection and beneficial effect of symptoms in patients with SARS CoV-2. An exhaustive research was carried out in the scientific databases: Science,Direct, PubMed,Scielo, El sevier, Springer, Oxford Academic, OMS and other scientific journals of the last 5 years were selected for analysis 20 articles. It is concluded that helminth parasites generate an immune response and regulate the host mechanism in patients with SARS CoV-2 . Coming to the conclusion that parasites and their derivatives can influence the entry of SARS CoV- 2 and produce an anti-inflammatory effect generating a decrease in the clinic in patients infected with this virus.
