Subtypes of Atypical Cold Urticaria and Recommendations for Their Diagnostic Workup
Background
A substantial subset of patients suffering from cold urticaria (ColdU) have atypical disease presentations and develop cold-induced wheals and/or angioedema in a real-world setting but not in response to standard cold stimulation tests. How to diagnose atypical ColdU is largely unclear, and little is known about the clinical features and treatment responses.
Objective
The aim of the study was to describe subtypes of atypical ColdU and provide recommendations for the diagnostic workup.
Methods
We conducted a comprehensive literature search on subtypes of atypical ColdU and published testing procedures. We then developed and pilot-tested modified cold stimulation tests (mCSTs) for 8 subtypes of atypical ColdU.
Results
Our systematic review identified 10 subtypes of atypical ColdU—delayed ColdU, ColdU with aberrant wheals, extended exposure ColdU, generalized exposure ColdU, localized ColdU, cold-induced cholinergic urticaria, cold-dependent dermographism, water-dependent ColdU, food-dependent ColdU, and ultra-freeze ColdU. Pilot-testing of protocols for diagnostic mCSTs was successful in 8 of 8 variants. Based on these results, we generated recommendations for the diagnostic workup of known subtypes of atypical ColdU.
Conclusions
The mCSTs provide a more precise diagnostic confirmation in patients with suspected atypical ColdU and allow effective monitoring throughout the disease course, facilitating access to specific therapy options, and ultimately leading to improved care for this patient population.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
