Chronic urticaria and treatment options
Indian J Dermatol.
2009.
Abstract
Chronic urticaria has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and causes. Still, despite our best efforts no cause may be found in the majority of cases. The treatment options are: Primary prevention in the form of avoidance of aggravating factors; counseling; antihistamines; leukotriene receptor antagonists; prednisolone; sulfasalazine and a host of immunosuppressives like methotrexate, cyclosporine, omalizumab etc.
Keywords: Urticaria; autoantibodies; autoimmune urticaria.
