Introduction: Blastocystis hominis in stool samples of individuals with allergic cutaneous symptoms were evaluated to study a possible link between them.Methods: The study was done from June 2010 to December 2011, in dermatology and parasitology department of central laboratory, Alnoor Specialist Hospital, Ministry of Health, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. A total of218 stool sample for patients who attended dermatology clinic and diagnosed as chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, or pruritus of unknown origin were included in the study. Standard laboratory tests for the detection of allergic etiology were performed for all patients. Detection of Blastocystis hominis has been made by microscopic examination of stool samples by direct examination and concentration technique.Results: Overall, 30(13.7%) stool samples were infected by Blastocystis hominis with age group (26-35) and male predominace 15(6.9%) and 18(8.2%), respectively.

Background: Chronic urticaria is an allergic skin condition that significantly affects the quality of life. Skin prick test determines allergens in order to prevent recurrent urticaria. Materials and methods: 43 chronic urticaria patients visiting the Dermatology Clinic from 09/2017 to 09/2018 were tested for 16 allergens on the skin at the Immunology Department, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Results: 30 females and 13 males participated in the study (female/male 2.3/1). The average number of disease episodes was 3.1 ± 1.4 times; with the other allergic diseases accompanied by 41.9% of patients; the average severity score was 10.0 ± 2.0 with the serious condition accounting for 60.5%. 86.0% of patients had a positive skin prick test, of which the positive rate for respiratory allergens (mites with the highest rate was 34.9%) was higher than the food allergens (crab 30.2%). There is a correlation between positive skin prick results and atopic allergies. Conclusion: The majority of chronic urticaria patients were severe and had positive skin prick results, in which mites had the highest incidence of allergy.
