| description | Celia M Zubrinich,1 Robert M Puy,1 Robyn E O’Hehir,1,2 Mark Hew1,2 1Department of Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Alfred Health, Melbourne, VIC, Australia; 2Central Clinical School, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia Abstract: Recurrent urticaria is a frequent presenting complaint in the Allergy Clinic, despite the fact that chronic urticaria is not an IgE-mediated (atopic) condition in most cases. We present four cases assessed over 5 years in our allergy service who were found to have evidence of strongyloidiasis and whose clinical features resolved with standard anti-helminth treatment.
