Physical urticaria, including symptomatic dermatographism, is common in children. This study found a 24% prevalence of dermatographism, linked to increased reactivity and atopy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Physical urticaria encompasses conditions triggered by physical stimuli.
  • Symptomatic dermatographism is a frequent type of physical urticaria in children.
  • Understanding its prevalence and associations is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of dermatographism in a pediatric population.
  • To investigate associations between dermatographism and other allergic conditions like atopy and bronchial hyper-responsiveness.
  • To review clinical, diagnostic, and treatment characteristics of physical urticaria.

Summary:

  • A study of 238 children found a 24% prevalence of dermatographism, with higher rates in females.
  • Children with dermatographism showed increased reactivity to stimuli like mosquito bites.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A significant association was observed between dermatographism and bronchial hyper-responsiveness (76%) and atopy (38%).

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the high prevalence of dermatographism in children.
    • Suggests a link between skin and bronchial hyper-reactivity, indicating shared underlying mechanisms.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering atopy and bronchial reactivity in children diagnosed with dermatographism.
