Cryptosporidium and Giardia have been postulated as etiological agents of urticaria, and different post-infectious mechanisms are attributed. In this sense, Blastocystis spp. has been linked to the genesis of irritable bowel syndrome and chronic urticaria. If these hypotheses are true, what could be the role of mast cells in chronic urticaria observed in patients with Blastocystis spp. infection. Is there association between histamine release and association with H1 recptors?
"Histamine-releasing
factors could be released by immigrant cells, activat-
ing mast cells, and basophils, and lead to short-lived urti-
caria." Maybe this rewiev will help?
