Anisakis simplex, a relevant etiologic factor in acute urticaria. Anisakis simplex, a parasite of fish and cephalopods, can induce IgE-mediated reactions. This study aimed to determine the etiologic role of A. simplex in patients affected by urlicaria/angioedema ‘AE’ or anaphylaxis. We studied 100 adult subjects suffering acute episodes of urticaria/AE, by anamnesis, prick tests with A. simplex and fish-mix extracts, and total and specific IgE to both A. simplex and cod. The following criteria of A. simplex allergy were considered: 1’ urticaria/AE within 6 h after fish ingestion; 2’ specific IgE to A. simplex; 3’ positive prick test to A. simplex extract; 4’ exclusion of other suspected causes. Double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge was not carried out because ethical considerations forbid challenge with a parasite. Specific IgE to A. simplex‘ |
