title: [Allergy to Anisakis simplex. Report of 2 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Anisakis simplex is a nematode which parasitizes mainly fish and cephalopods and accidentally human beings after ingestion. Apart from the different digestive syndromes, this organism has recently been involved as cause of IgE-mediated allergic reactions of variable degree (urticaria to severe angioedema). In this report three patients with the diagnosis of allergy to Anisakis simplex are reported and a review of the literature is made.
