Abstract
Ascariasis is a widespread geohelminthiasis. Ascariasis in children leads to sensitization of the body and the development of pronounced general and local allergic reactions in the form of various skin rashes, urticaria, and suffocation. In addition, ascariasis in children contributes to immunosuppression, which increases the susceptibility of the child’s body to various infectious diseases. According to current clinical guidelines, anthelmintic drugs are indicated in confirmed cases. Confirmation of the diagnosis of “Ascariasis” is often associated with a number of difficulties. The article considers a case of ascariasis accompanied by pronounced exanthema syndrome in an 8-year-old girl. During the therapy, a significant reduction in the skin syndrome, relief of other symptoms of the disease, and normalization of laboratory parameters were achieved.
