Abstract
PARASITOSES ARE EXTREMELY COMMON CONDITIONS IN PEDIATRICS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OVER 80% OF CHILDREN HAVE AN EPISODE OF GIARDIAS (FOR EXAMPLE) DURING THEIR LIFETIME. THERE ARE ALSO PARASITIC ENDEMIC EVOLUTIONS, S UCH AS ASCARIASIS IN THE HILLY AREA OF MEHEDINTI. SKIN ERUPTIONS, THE PRESENCE OF URTICARIAL PHENOMENA ARE A REALITY IN THE CASE OF PEDIATRIC PARASITOSES, MOST PARASITOSES ALSO ACTING THROUGH THE TOXIC -ALLERGIC MECHANISM, THROUGH MOLECULAR MIMICRY WITH THE PROTEINS OF THE ORGANISM. MANY RELAPSING SKIN CONDITIONS SHOULD RAISE SUSPICIONS ABOUT CONCOMITANT PARASITOSIS TO BREAK THE VICIOUS CIRCLE.
