The definition, diagnostic testing, and management of chronic inducible urticarias – The EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF/UNEV consensus recommendations 2016 update and revision

TL;DR: These recommendations for the definition, diagnosis and management of chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) extend, revise and update the previous consensus report on physical urticarias and cholinergic uricaria (Allergy, 2009), and acknowledge the latest changes in understanding of CIndU.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural course of physical and chronic urticaria and angioedema in 220 patients.

TL;DR: In general, the prognosis for spontaneous remission is reasonable, with the exception of the subgroup (33.2%) with physical urticaria.

Omalizumab treatment in patients with chronic inducible urticaria: A systematic review of published evidence

TL;DR: A strong body of evidence supports the use of omalizumab in the treatment of patients with therapy‐refractory CIndU, and rapid onset of action demonstrated through early symptom control in most cases, sometimes within 24 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urticaria and infections

TL;DR: This review will update the reader regarding the role of infections in different urticaria subtypes and since infections can be easily treated some diagnostic procedures should be included in the routine work-up, especially the search for Helicobacter pylori.

Urticaria and angio-oedema. A review of 554 patients.

TL;DR: The records of 554 consecutive patients attending hospitals in the Cambridge region with urticaria have been analysed with the aid of a computer and in 79%, the aetiology was unknown although in many cases aggravating factors, for example, psychological stress, aspirin, or infection, were detected.

Urticaria and Angioedema

TL;DR: The histopathological features of urticaria are dilatation of cutaneous blood vessels and lymphatics in the superficial dermis, widening of dermal papillae, flattening of rete pegs, and swelling of collagen fibers.

Cold Urticaria: Release into the Circulation of Histamine and Eosinophil Chemotactic Factor of Anaphylaxis during Cold Challenge

TL;DR: This initial observation of release of eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis in vivo along with histamine assigns the mast cell a central role in cold urticaria.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo studies of mediator release in cold urticaria and cholinergic urticaria.

TL;DR: Six patients with cold urticaria were found to possess elevated plasma histamine levels after cold challenge by placing one hand in ice water for 4 minutes, and elevated serotonin levels in a single atypical patient suggest that a subpopulation of patients with cholinergic Urticaria possess a different pathogenesis.

Cold Urticaria: RECOGNITION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NEUTROPHIL CHEMOTACTIC FACTOR WHICH APPEARS IN SERUM DURING EXPERIMENTAL COLD CHALLENGE

TL;DR: Sera obtained from the venous effluents of cold-challenged arms of patients with idiopathic cold urticaria without plasma or serum cryoproteins exhibited increased neutrophil chemotactic activity without alterations of the complement system, and this active principle exhibited a time-course of release that could be superimposed upon that of histamine and the low molecular-weight eosinophil Chemotactic factor.
