Abstract

Background: Chronic urticaria is very common distressing dermatoses. CU is caused by autoimmune mechanisms in approximately 30-50% of patients. Repeated injection of autologous whole blood or autologous serum, a form of therapy also known as autohaemotherapy, can be very effective in CAU patients. Aim was to assess the effectiveness of autologous serum therapy in chronic urticaria patients. Methods: All patients with CU attending the dermatology OPD of age >18 years, and urticaria of duration >6 weeks. After autologous serum skin test, autologous serum therapy was administered using autologous serum in a dose of 0.05 ml per kg body weight, injected IM in gluteus muscle weekly for nine weeks in all patients. Parameters of disease activity and severity were recorded at baseline and every week during treatment. End point of study was improvement in chronic modified urticaria total severity score after ninth dose of AST which was recorded at baseline and at 10th week. Results: Mean of MUTSS for ASST positive group and ASST negative group was 13.27±2.050 and 12.04±3.212 respectively which is statistically significant (p=0.043). Mean MUTSS post treatment in ASST positive group was 3.87±4.57 whereas in negative group it was 6.46±4.418 which was statistically significant (p=0.019). Conclusions: 42.3% patients of chronic urticaria were of autoimmune type and approximately half of them responded well to autologous serum therapy. This study found that serum therapy is effective in ASST positive patients with CU.
慢性荨麻疹患者的自体血清治疗
背景:慢性荨麻疹是一种非常常见的皮肤病。在大约30-50%的患者中,CU是由自身免疫机制引起的。反复注射自体全血或自体血清,一种也被称为自体血液疗法的治疗形式,对CAU患者非常有效。目的评价自体血清治疗慢性荨麻疹的疗效。方法:所有在皮肤科门诊就诊的CU患者,年龄bb ~ 18岁,荨麻疹持续时间bb ~ 6周。自体血清皮试后,采用自体血清治疗,剂量为0.05 ml / kg体重,每周在臀肌注射IM,连续9周。在基线和治疗期间每周记录疾病活动性和严重程度参数。研究终点是在基线和第10周记录第九剂AST后慢性变革性荨麻疹总严重程度评分的改善。结果:阴性组和阳性组的平均MUTSS分别为13.27±2.050和12.04±3.212,差异有统计学意义(p=0.043)。阳性组治疗后平均MUTSS为3.87±4.57,阴性组治疗后平均MUTSS为6.46±4.418,差异有统计学意义(p=0.019)。结论:42.3%的慢性荨麻疹患者为自身免疫性荨麻疹,其中约一半的患者对自体血清治疗反应良好。本研究发现血清治疗对自体皮肤试验阳性的CU患者有效。
