Abstract

Urticaria is one of the most prevalent disorders in dermatological practice. The disease can be incapacitating. There are clear pathophysiological and epidemiological hints that helminths and protozoa are rare but treatable causes of acute and chronic urticaria. Doctors and patients are often not aware that parasitic diseases are increasingly common even in industrialized countries due to a steep rise in migration and international travel. This review presents the most important parasitic causes of urticaria and provides relevant details regarding personal history, clinical presentation, diagnosis and therapy.
