Urticaria is conventionally classified as acute, intermittent and chronic (Greaves 2000a). Acute urticaria which frequently involves an IgE-mediated immunological mechanism, is common, its causes often recognised by the patient, and will not be considered further. Intermittent urticaria — frequent bouts...

Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is a common and frustrating disorder. A subset of patients with CIU has been classified as autoimmune on the basis of two main findings: association with thyroid autoimmunity and anti-IgE and/or anti-IgE receptor antibodies. There is growing evidence that some ...
In contrast to acute urticaria, etiology cannot be identified in most cases of chronic urticaria. Recent evidence suggests that a subset of patients with chronic urticaria may have an autoimmune basis for their condition. The demonstration of antithyroid autoantibodies in some patients with chronic idio...
Summary Background Chronic urticaria (CU) is an autoimmune process in some patients. An association between CU and autoimmune thyroid disease has also previously been proposed. Our group has identified functionally significant histamine‐releasing autoantibodies in one subset of CU patients (subset 1),...
• Seventeen patients, constituting 12.1% of 140 consecutively seen cases of chronic urticaria, demonstrated thyroid autoimmunity with thyroid microsomal antibodies (TMAs) in serum titers greater than or equal to 1:1,600. Eight of these 17 patients had goiter or thyroid dysfunction. In a control...
By this explanation, CSU and panic disorder may be different disease entities merely with similar autoimmune mechanisms. The immunoglobulin/histamine complex was reported to be effective in allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria. In this case, allergic rhinitis was completely improved with the remission...
Urticaria is characterized by the development of wheals, angioedema, or both. Chronic urticaria is defined by recurrently appearing signs and symptoms for more than 6 weeks. The disease activity of all chronic urticaria subtypes can markedly change over time and differ between individual patients. Sec...
