title: [Urticaria as a clinical manifestation of intestinal parasitism].
abstract: The main goal of this paper is to call the attention of general practitioners and internists on the different affections which may involve urticaria as a clinical manifestations. A differential diagnosis of the causes of urticaria with an allergic and a nonallergic pathogenesis is made. Intestinal parasitism is among the first causes of urticaria. Six cases studied at the allergy service which had been referred from health areas or other hospital services are reviewed and reported. In these patients, a total regression of the clinical picture was achieved once intestinal parasitism was eradicated.
