title: Fever and urticaria in an African refugee.
abstract: An 11-year-old African refugee presented with fever and urticaria commencing 2-h after taking praziquantel. He had been well previously, and the praziquantel was given to treat a serological diagnosis of schistosomiasis. The main differential diagnosis was between acute schistosomiasis and a drug reaction.
