    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Investigating persistent urticaria and itching in a 53-year-old patient.
    • Initial laboratory findings suggested infection-associated allergy or paraneoplastic syndrome.
    • Gastrointestinal tumor was excluded as a potential cause.

    Observation:

    • Persistent urticaria and itching for nine months.
    • Elevated sedimentation rate and leucocytosis noted.
    • Fecal analyses revealed trophozoites, indicating Giardia lamblia small bowel infestation.

    Findings:

    • Giardia lamblia confirmed via duodenal aspirate.
    • Metronidazole therapy (3 x 400 mg/day for 10 days) administered.
    • Complete normalization of infection markers and sustained symptom relief achieved.
