“…The pathogenic nature of Blastocystis spp. has been subject of debate for a long time [6,7,23,24]. The finding of this protozoan in the feces of asymptomatic individuals has been a basis for disputing its pathogenicity [23].…”

“…comprises a group of morphologically indistinguishable microorganisms, made up of numerous STs that, depending on the relationship they establish with their respective hosts, show different degrees of virulence [7,16,19,25,26]. The prevalence of blastocystosis, an entity that was barely reported four decades ago, has increased rapidly in recent years [6,24]. The growing certainty about the pathogenicity of Blastocystis spp., which has obviously led to more attention being paid to its detection, could have contributed to the increase in the prevalence figures of this parasitism.…”

“…The data from the reviewed literature allow us to affirm that urticaria is the most frequent cutaneous manifestation associated with infection by Blastocystis spp. [6,19,24,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].

Numerous studies have found an association between infection by some species of intestinal parasites and the development of urticarial lesions. In this document we have commented on the published findings that show the association between infection by Blastocystis spp. and urticaria, and on the theorizations in relation to the mechanisms that would explain it. Due to sharing risk factors and transmission ways, there is a marked geographic coincidence among intestinal parasitic infections. In fact, polyparasitism is a common phenomenon in low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean where infections by protozoa and intestinal helminths are endemic. This argument, among others, suggest that the epidemiological and healthcare approach to urticaria associated with infection by Blastocystis spp. should be done from a syndemic approach that takes into account the ways in which social environments contribute to intestinal parasite infections clustering, the pathways through which those infections could interact biologically in each individual influencing the development and evolution of urticarial lesions, and the ways in which those interactions complicate diagnosis and treatment.
