  • Understanding the diverse triggers and reactions in CUS is essential for patient management.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of contact urticaria syndrome.
  • To detail the patho-mechanism, diagnosis, clinical features, and prevention strategies for CUS.
  • To highlight the potential for severe systemic and life-threatening symptoms.

Summary:

  • This review discusses the patho-mechanism of contact urticaria syndrome, differentiating between allergic and non-allergic reactions.
  • Key diagnostic criteria and clinical presentations are outlined, with emphasis on systemic manifestations.
  • Prophylaxis principles and the management of acute, potentially life-threatening reactions are described.

Impact:

  • Improved diagnostic accuracy and clinical management of contact urticaria syndrome.
