title: [Role of Helicobacter and lamblia infections in the diagnostics and treatment of chronic hives].
abstract: Chronic recurrent urticaria is a pluricausal disease observed not only by allergologists but also by gastroenterologists and general practitioners in their practice. Two concomitant pathological processes--urticaria and chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, especially in cases of helminthic infections--are examined in full measure. This article also describes the concomitant effect of Helicobacter pylori and G. lamblia infections as the most frequent factor inducing the development of chronic urticaria. These particular features of its etiology served as the basis for introducing up-to-date high-technology diagnostics methods and developing corresponding approaches to the treatment of patients suffering from this disease.
