Is there a role for helminths in the therapy of inflammatory bowel disease?

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to result from a hyper-responsive and misdirected immune response to intestinal microbes. Therapy is based on empirical use of local anti-inflammatory agents, corticosteroids and broad-spectrum immunosuppressive agents that have a limited efficacy and the potential for serious side effects.
