Abstract:
Skin affectation in patients infected by Toxocara spp. is rare even in endemic regions. We present a case of a patient that consulted us for a urticarial process and a personal history of eating rat cattle meat. After several studies, the diagnosis of secondary urticaria due to Toxocara spp. infection was made. Improvement of the symptoms was observed after treatment with thiabendazole.
