Abstract

Objective: Chronic urticaria (CU), which is mostly idiopathic, may also be a sign of an allergic or systemic disease. A variety of diseases and allergens that accompany CU have been reported in various studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors that play a role in the etiology of CU. Materials and Methods: The demographic and clinical data from 302 patients – aged over 18 years - who were being monitored for CU were recorded. Several tests were performed to analyze comorbidities such as infection, malignancy, and autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. Skin Prick Test (SPT) results and questionnaires were reviewed. Results: Two hundred and thirteen out of the 302 patients with a mean age of 40.26±14.3 years were females. The duration of CU was 43.30±62.60 months and 42.9% of the patients had comorbidities. The most common disease was autoimmune thyroiditis (13.9%). Fifty-five percent of the patients were sensitive to inhalant allergens, and 5% exhibited allergen positivity for food. The most common allergens were house (43.7%) dust mites. Allergen positivity was 37.2% in those with comorbidities, while it was 62.8% in those without any comorbidities and this relationship was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that there was an association between house dust mite and CU dust sensitivity. House dust mite sensitivity may trigger CU.
慢性荨麻疹患者的临床特点及皮肤点刺试验结果
目的:慢性荨麻疹(CU),主要是特发性的,也可能是过敏性或全身性疾病的征兆。各种各样的疾病和过敏原伴随CU已报道在各种研究。本研究的目的是探讨在CU病因中起作用的因素。材料和方法:记录302例年龄在18岁以上的CU监测患者的人口统计学和临床数据。进行了一些试验来分析合并症,如感染、恶性肿瘤、自身免疫性疾病和风湿病。回顾皮肤点刺试验(SPT)结果和问卷调查。结果:302例患者中,女性213例,平均年龄40.26±14.3岁。CU持续时间为43.30±62.60个月,42.9%的患者有合并症。最常见的疾病是自身免疫性甲状腺炎(13.9%)。55%的患者对吸入性过敏原敏感,5%的患者对食物过敏原阳性。最常见的过敏原是室内尘螨(43.7%)。有合并症组过敏原阳性率为37.2%,无合并症组为62.8%,差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。结论:室内尘螨与CU粉尘敏感性存在相关性。室内尘螨敏感可能引发CU。
