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 raw cattle meat After several studies, the diagnosis of secondary urticaria due to To xocara spp. infection was made. Improvement of the symptoms was observ ed after treatment with thiabendazole.
