Because concurrent infections with geohelminth parasites might impair the immune response to oral vaccines, we studied the vibriocidal antibody response to the oral cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR in children infected with Ascaris lumbricoides and investigated the effect of albendazole pretreatment on the postvaccination response. Children with ascariasis were randomized to receive either 2 sequential doses of 400 mg of albendazole or placebo. After the second dose, CVD 103-HgR was given, and serum vibriocidal antibody levels were measured before and 10 days after vaccination. Postvaccination rates of seroconversion were greater in the treatment group that received albendazole (P = .06). Significantly greater rates of seroconversion and geometric mean titer were observed in the albendazole group in subjects with non-O ABO blood groups. A significant association was observed between vibriocidal seroconversion rates and treatment group, suggesting that A. lumbricoides infections impair the immune response to oral cholera vaccine, particularly in subjects of non-O blood groups.
