Contact urticaria: present scenario
Indian J Dermatol.
2009 Jul.
Abstract
Immunological contact urticaria is a hypersensitivity reaction that appears on the skin following contact with an eliciting substance. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanism and pathogenesis of this reaction have altered its classification, diagnosis, and treatment. We discuss classification, epidemiology, diagnosis, testing, and treatment options that are available to patients with contact urticaria.
Keywords: Contact urticaria; contact dermatitis; contact urticaria syndrome; urticaria.
