Abstract

Study objective

This study aimed to evaluate the changes in inflammatory markers, specifically neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), in pediatric patients with acute and chronic urticaria. The objective was to compare these inflammatory indices between patients with acute urticaria, chronic urticaria, and healthy controls to determine whether they can be used as potential biomarkers for the evaluation of urticaria.

Patients and methods

The study included 200 participants: 100 with acute urticaria, 50 with chronic urticaria, and 50 healthy controls, all aged 0–18 years. Blood samples were taken to calculate NLR, PLR, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and other related indices. Specific allergen sensitivities were also evaluated using specific IgE tests and skin prick tests.

Results

The study found significant differences in NLR, PLR, and SII between the acute and chronic urticaria groups and the control group. NLR and PLR were significantly higher in the chronic urticaria group, suggesting ongoing inflammation. No significant difference was found in monocyte, platelet, eosinophil, and basophil counts.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that NLR, PLR, and SII could be potential biomarkers for assessing the inflammatory response in urticaria, particularly in differentiating between acute and chronic forms. However, further research is needed to confirm the clinical utility of these markers for routine evaluation in urticaria patients.

期刊介绍： La Revue Française d''Allergologie : un véritable forum pour faire connaître des travaux originaux et permettre la diffusion de l''information auprès de toutes les spécialités concernées par les pathologies allergiques. La Revue Française d''Allergologie (8 numéros par an) est au carrefour de nombreuses spécialités - dermatologie, pédiatrie, ORL, pneumologie, ophtalmologie, médecine interne - qui, toutes, ont à traiter des maladies allergiques. Les symptômes des allergies fondés sur des mécanismes communs sont le plus souvent associés et se succèdent chez un même patient. En forte progression depuis 20 ans, les maladies allergiques sont dans l''attente de perfectionnements et d''avancées thérapeutiques qui permettront aux nombreux patients qui en sont atteints de mieux vivre avec leurs allergies. La Revue Française d''Allergologie se veut donc un véritable forum de discussions et d''échanges entre tous les spécialistes confrontés aux pathologies
