Abstract

Histaminergic urticaria-angiodema is a common complaint in children. According to clinical criteria, it is classified as acute and chronic urticaria. A further clinical classification relies on triggering factors. We focus on diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. We report the main progresses in the field and issues that remain to be understood.
