Five patients (23.8%) reported having experienced urticaria the week preceding the examination. One patient suffered from extended urticaria. Three weeks after treatment, most symptoms had been almost entirely resolved.'] Is strongyloides stercoralis a cause of abdominal pain , diarrhea and urticaria in rural Cambodia?
