Abstract

Chronic urticaria (CU) is persisting for 6 weeks or more. CU is triggered through allergens (food, medications, herbs, insect bites), non-allergic direct and indirect mast-cell releasers, other different or unknown mechanisms, some cases are infection-associated. It is known that one-third of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria have histamine - releasing auto-antibodies directed against either the high-affinity IgE receptor or, less frequently against IgE. CU is a disease without clear etiology in the vast majority cases and this condition is termed as a chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU).
