The immune response in acute and chronic schistosomiasis was evaluated in 24 Egyptian schoolchildren before and after praziquantel therapy. In acute infections, the specific anti-SEA IgM decreased significantly after treatment, while it decreased insignificantly in chronic cases. The specific IgG was significantly reduced in both acute and chronic cases after therapy. The specific anti-SWAP IgM showed insignificant reduction after treatment of acute cases, while in chronic cases it remained unchanged. The specific anti-soluble worm antigen (SWAP) IgG decreased significantly in acute cases after treatment, while it showed insignificant elevation in chronic cases
