BACKGROUND
We document clinical manifestations of 21 patients heavily infected with S. stercoralis (more than 250 larvae in a single Baermann test) from a community in rural Cambodia, both before and three weeks after ivermectin (200 μg/kg BW, single oral dose) treatment.
RESULTS
Out of 21 patients,
Characteristic features of acute annular urticaria in 34 infants and small children were large, erythematous annular and polycyclic lesions with violaceous centers, eyelid, hand, and foot edema, absence of angioedema of the airway, absence of pruritus, spontaneous resolution in 8 to 10 days, and
We conducted a prospective study at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, from June 2001 to November 2003, to identify the contribution of food allergy to urticaria in children. During the study period, 100 children with urticaria were enrolled, 36 of whom had a history suspicious of food allergy.

BACKGROUND
In patients suffering from severe chronic urticaria (CU) and in whom both antihistamine therapy and short courses of corticosteroids are needed, cyclosporine-A (CsA) should be considered. In such patients CsA given for 1-3 months (3mg/kg/d) was reported to induce in 2/3 of patients a full
A 9-year-old, spayed male schnauzer dog was presented with vomiting, diarrhea, generalized erythema, pruritic urticaria and conjunctival hyperemia after ingestion of peanut. The history, clinical signs, and histopathology of the lesions were compatible with a hypersensitivity reaction. The clinical
Three patients with chronic urticaria or pruritus were found to suffer from an asymptomatic intestinal infection caused by the protozoan Giardia lamblia. Treatment with metronidazole per os or tinidazole per os was successful; the pruritic symptoms in one patient improved markedly.Giardia lamblia
