Sep 24th, 2008 - We previously demonstrated that the semipurified human sweat antigen causes skin reactions and histamine release from basophils via specific IgE in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Patients with cholinergic urticaria (ChU) also develop skin r...

Jun 24th, 2009 - With cholinergic urticaria (ChU), the ultimate diagnosis often depends on the demonstration of characteristic urticaria by appropriate provocation. Several treatment options may be helpful but traditional options (antihistamines, leukotriene inhib...

Oct 1st, 2009 - The recommendations for the definition and diagnosis presented in this position paper are the result of a panel consensus meeting held in December 2008 in Berlin. This consensus meeting was a joint initiative of EAACI (European Academy of Allergol...

Nov 20th, 2009 - Cholinergic urticaria is one of the more common physical urticarias. Although it is often fairly mild, severe treatment-resistant disease may occur, with significant associated disability. Omalizumab, a monoclonal IgG anti-IgE antibody licensed fo...
