Abstract

Urticaria is a mast cell-mediated disease characterized by hives, angioedema, or both. It can be spontaneous, inducible, or mixed. Chronic spontaneous urticaria may be autoimmune or idiopathic. The cause of inducible urticarias is unknown, although the eliciting trigger can be defined by provocation testing. Nonsedating H₁-antihistamines should be used for all types of urticaria. Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria not responding to H₁-antihistamines can be considered for immunosuppressive drugs or omalizumab (anti-immunoglobulin E).
