Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Allergology

Context:

  • Urticaria affects up to 25% of the population.
  • Characterized by transient, reversible wheals (intradermal edema).
  • Multiple etiologies and diverse clinical presentations exist.

Purpose:

  • To differentiate urticaria based on its time course.
  • To identify common causes for acute and chronic forms.
  • To outline current treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • Urticaria presents as transient, reversible wheals.
  • Acute and acute relapsing urticaria are frequently linked to allergies or pseudoallergies.
  • Chronic urticaria often has elusive causes, leading to symptomatic management.

Impact:

  • Provides a classification of urticaria based on duration.
  • Highlights the diagnostic challenge in chronic urticaria.
  • Establishes non-sedating H1 antihistamines as the primary treatment for urticaria.
