RESUMEN

115 patients with non-immune (IgE-negative) urticaria, related to parasitic (lambliasis, oxyuriasis, ascaridiasis) or fungal (candidiasis) associations were investigated-both before and one month after specific and antihistaminic therapy-concerning different percentage levels of blood lymphocyte sets and subsets, by means of flow cytometry. Before therapy, three kinds of immune deficiency patients were obtained, one in lambliasis and oxyuriasis, the second in ascaridiasis, and the third in candidiasis, respectively. Clinical, biological and immunological recovering after therapy exhibited some differences related to the presumed non-allergic etiology, i.e. better in lambliasis and oxyuriasis and worse in ascaridiasis and candidiasis.
