“…While oral prednisone, antihistamines, topical steroid and phototherapy may help reduce echinococcosis‐associated pruritus, 30,31 the patient's overall condition may continue to deteriorate until the cyst is removed.

“…If a cyst is not accessible by surgical intervention, it may be treated with oral albendazole and praziquantel. 25,30,32 Onchocerciasis Onchocerciasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Onchocerca volvulus, a filarial nematode transmitted by the bite of the blackfly. Colloquially known as 'river blindness', onchocerciasis is typically considered a disease of the skin and the eyes but may also cause onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy and other neurologic conditions, such as nodding syndrome and nakalanga syndrome.…”

Itch is the most common skin symptom among tropical parasitic diseases (TPD), but there are limited data about its characteristics in these conditions. In dermatology practices and travellers' health clinics in the developed world, itch is a common complaint among travellers returning from endemic areas, as well among migrants arriving from endemic areas, where they may have been exposed to TPD. Studying aspects of pruritus among TPD may lead to improvements in prompt, accurate diagnosis and management of these conditions. This review examines the major itch-inducing TPDs, including schistosomiasis, echinococcosis, onchocerciasis, scabies, cutaneous larva migrans, larva currens, African trypanosomiasis, dracunculiasis and other causes of travel associated pruritus. We focus on the link between pruritus and other symptoms, aetiology, clinical staging and therapeutic options for these parasitic illnesses. Because some tropical parasitic diseases can present with significant pruritus, we attempt to identify aspects of the pruritus that are characteristic of-or unique to-specific conditions. These diagnostic insights may help clinicians create a rational and focused differential diagnosis and help determine optimal disease management pathways. In this sense, management involves treating the individual, seeking epidemiologically linked cases, preventing recurrences or relapses, and reducing spread of the disease.

“… 3 Echinococcus granulosus infection may produce different cutaneous manifestations, some of which are due to mechanical complication, such as skin fistulae, 4 and others are due to anaphylactoid reactions, such as acute or chronic urticaria and flushing. 5 It is assumed that these former symptoms may be caused by a partial rupture of the cyst with microscopic drainage. We propose that this continuous antigenic trigger and repeated scratching could potentially result in clinical manifestations in our patient, which were resolved using antiparasitic treatment.…”
