Chronic Urticaria in Children

Clinical Pediatrics, 2008
For a wheal to develop, a given antigen has to bind to an antigen-specific IgE present on the surface of a mast cell. As a result, the mast cell degranulates, releasing histamine and vasoactive mediators. These mediators produce vasodilatation, increased blood flow, and vascular permeability.

Vasculitis in chronic urticaria

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1980
Abstract We have explored the problem of the histologic basis of chronic urticaria and its relation to vasculitis and immune complex disease. In a prospective study, 42 consecutive patients with chronic urticaria (from twice weekly to daily episodes lasting more than 6 wk) had skin biopsies and were studied for immunologic variables.
