Difference between Helminthic therapy and Ulcerative colitis

Helminthic therapy vs. Ulcerative colitis

Helminthic therapy, an experimental type of immunotherapy, is the treatment of autoimmune diseases and immune disorders by means of deliberate infestation with a helminth or with the ova of a helminth. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-term condition that results in inflammation and ulcers of the colon and rectum.

Similarities between Helminthic therapy and Ulcerative colitis

Helminthic therapy and Ulcerative colitis have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Autoimmune disease, Coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, Gut flora, Helminths, Hygiene hypothesis, Inflammatory bowel disease, T helper cell, Trichuris suis, Trichuris trichiura.

Autoimmune disease

An autoimmune disease is a condition arising from an abnormal immune response to a normal body part.

Coeliac disease

Coeliac disease, also spelled celiac disease, is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the small intestine.

Helminths

Helminths, also commonly known as parasitic worms, are large multicellular parasites, which can generally be seen with the naked eye when they are mature.

Hygiene hypothesis

In medicine, the hygiene hypothesis states a lack of early childhood exposure to infectious agents, symbiotic microorganisms (such as the gut flora or probiotics), and parasites increases susceptibility to allergic diseases by suppressing the natural development of the immune system.

Inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.

T helper cell

The T helper cells (Th cells) are a type of T cell that play an important role in the immune system, particularly in the adaptive immune system.

Trichuris suis

Trichuris suis is a whipworm; the variations in thickness of the anterior and posterior segments give the parasite the characteristic “whip-like” appearance.

Trichuris trichiura

The human whipworm (Trichuris trichiura or Trichocephalus trichiuris) is a round worm (a type of helminth) that causes trichuriasis (a type of helminthiasis which is one of the neglected tropical diseases) when it infects a human large intestine.
