Abstract

Chronic urticaria is in some cases very difficult to treat, we aimed to evaluate the effect of colchicine on chronic urticaria management. Fifty-five euthyroid patients with chronic urticaria were examined based on UQL and UAS7 questionnaires. The overall UQL-Q score after 3 months has not any statistical difference between groups. The overall UQL-Q score changes between groups was not statistically different. However, the UQL-Q score significantly reduces during study period in each group. In conclusion, colchicine can manage the sign and symptoms of chronic urticaria, which improve the patients' quality of life.

Keywords: anti-TPO; chronic urticaria; colchicine; management.
