What is this, exactly? How should I treat it? Some people develop hives on the skin when they encounter cold temperatures. This condition, called cold urticaria, is the most common type of hives caused by a physical condition. The hives are produced by a rapid release of histamine brought about by IgE antibodies and eosinophils (a type of white blood cell often involved in allergic reactions) in response to the cold. Rapid cooling, as from the evaporation when one gets out of a swimming pool, can trigger cold urticaria even on a warm day. For people with cold urticaria, swimming in very cold water is quite dangerous, sometimes even causing death.

Extractions: This is the thirtyfourth article in a series written for Princeton Online . Click here for an archive of other articles Pink or red welts on the skin characterize urticaria, the medical terminology for hives. The welts may be as small as a mosquito bite (often-termed papular urticaria) or an inch or more in diameter. The can be sparse or so plentiful that they merge into large collections of irregularly shaped welts, called erythema multiforme. (A similar rash, called erythema marginatum, can be a consequence of an untreated by strep throat and has a flat or slightly irregular raised edge and a large skin-colored center.) Whether they are small and sparse or large and grotesque, parents are often concerned about hives. Urticaria is a physiologic response to some event that incites an immune response. It may occur in people who are exposed to allergens (proteins that a person is allergic to). Allergens can be in foods, airborne inhalants, contact proteins applied to the skin or contained in germs (bacteria and viruses). When our bodies recognize allergens, we make specific antibodies directed against each allergen. The combination of antibodies and allergens circulate in our bloodstream until they are eliminated. While in our circulation, they cause local dilatation of the cutaneous blood vessels that allows more local blood accumulation, appearing as flat or raised red blotches in the skin. The increased blood flow to the area stimulates the cutaneous nerves, causing itching.

Extractions: Urticaria (Hives or "Nettle" Rashes) by Dr Adrian Morris Urticaria is a raised itchy and painful skin rash sometimes called a nettle rash or hives. There are two distinct types of urticaria: Acute urticaria is often caused by an allergy to food or medication and can last between several hours and six weeks. Chronic urticaria is diagnosed if the rash persists for six weeks or longer, the underlying cause is then usually not due to a food allergy. What are the causes? Acute Urticaria The most likely cause of Acute Urticaria is an allergy due to exposure to pets, horses, latex rubber, food such as shellfish, nuts, fruit and dairy products or bee and wasp stings. Medication such as antibiotics (penicillin, tetracycline, sulphonamides and cephalosporins), blood pressure pills (ACE inhibitors and diuretics), codeine and aspirin containing pain killers can cause acute urticaria. Sometimes viral infections such as glandular fever and hepatitis B, or bacteria (helicobacter, streptococci), fungal and parasitic infections can trigger urticaria. Reactions to blood products, transfusions, xray contrast and vaccines have also been implicated. Papular urticaria is the medical term for itchy bumps or grouped urticarial lesions seen mainly in children and which follow insect bites from midges, fleas and mosquitoes. Chronic Urticaria The cause of Chronic Urticaria is much more difficult to identify. The role of true food allergy is hardly ever a significant trigger but food additives such as salicylate, sodium benzoate, colourings and nitrites may play a role. We often end up diagnosing

Extractions: This patient came to endoscopy, because of a suspicion of celiac disease, which she had. In addition to that, there were these white areas in the descending duodeum. At time of the examination, the patient had an acute urticaria in the skin, as she had had many times before. Histologic examination of these lesions showed superficial necrosis. We think, that these lesions are urticaria in the bowel mucosa. In a repeated examinations after some months, there were no lesions of this kind (this picture, as the other ones are from the initial examination). Has anybody else seen any lesions like this in a patient with acute urticaria?

Extractions: Patientinformation 8 Startsidan Nästa >> Urticaria (nässelutslag) är ett vanligt sjukdomstillstånd som cirka 20% av alla vuxna har haft någon gång. Urticaria är ibland, men långt ifrån alltid, allergiskt utlöst. Det finns många andra uppkomstmekanismer, och också olika former av urticaria. Akut urticaria Detta är den vanligaste formen. Klåda och rodnade eller ljusa upphöjda kvaddlar i huden, kommer då på några minuter eller timmar, efter det att något utlösande ämne har tillförts kroppen. Ibland kan även lätt feber, svullnadskänsla i handflator och fotsulor, ledvärk eller magbesvär förekomma. I svårare fall kan svullnader i ansiktet uppkomma. Exempel på orsaker till akut urticaria är födoämnen (skaldjur, musslor, nötter, jordgubbar, kiwi, mögelost m m), färgämnestillsatser i sprit och godsaker, konserveringsmedel i läsk, dressing och såser, läkemedel (antibiotika, värktabletter med acetylsalicylsyra eller kodein, B-vitaminer, röntgenkontrastmedel m m), eller insektsstick (bi, geting). Akut urticaria visar ofta kraftiga symptom med klåda och utslag, men klingar sedan vanligen av efter någon eller några veckor. Kronisk urticaria

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Papular Urticaria, more commonly known as "hives," is characterized by local elevated ridges (wheals) and redness (erythema) of the skin. This condition is usually triggered by allergic reactions to insect bites, sensitivity to drugs, or other environmental causes. The first symptom of Papular Urticaria is usually itching (pruritus), followed by the appearance of small or large wheals. In some cases, swelling of the soft tissues of the face, neck, and hands (angioedema) may also occur. Papular Urticaria may be caused by drug allergies, insect stings or bites, desensitization injections (allergy shots), or ingestion of certain foods (particularly eggs, shellfish, nuts, or fruits) by individuals who are allergic to these substances.

Extractions: Tod M. Sweeney, MD; William W. Dexter, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 31 - NO. 6 - JUNE 2003 For CME accreditation information, instructions and learning objectives, click here In Brief: Cholinergic urticaria is a systemic response to a rise in core temperature that can be brought on by exercise, as in this case of a 24-year-old jogger. Many cases, however, are mild. The exact pathophysiology for the release of histamines is unknown, but the resulting rash can be distressing for patients. The challenge for physicians is to differentiate exercise-induced urticaria from exercise-induced anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition. Effective management includes patient education, antihistamine use, if needed, and avoidance of precipitating triggers, such as strenuous exercise or hot showers. I or more. The exact pathophysiology is not fully understood, but current theory holds that acetylcholine (ACH) is released, inducing mast cell degranulation, and the subsequent histamine release causes an urticarial reaction. Both skin and respiratory problems are seen frequently in athletes, and the clinician must be able to differentiate exercise-induced urticaria from the more common, and distinct, exercise-induced asthma and the more severe exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Though the symptoms of exercise-induced urticaria are often mild, they can be quite disabling for those more severely affected. Precise diagnosis, based on a thorough history and confirmed with an exercise challenge, is key to effective prophylactic treatment.

Causes include type 1 hypersensitivity reactions to certain foods and drugs, including blood products. In up to 50% of cases a cause is not identified. The involvement of a particular food allergen can be confirmed by the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and skin prick tests. Allergy to latex usually manifests as contact urticaria or with systemic symptoms but rarely presents with generalised urticaria. As with suspected reactions to peanuts it is recommended that tests for latex allergy be done in a hospital setting as severe systemic reactions may occur.

Extractions: Back to table of contents The patient is generally very uncomfortable, with intense itching. There may be a history of similar episodes and perhaps a known precipitating agent (bee sting, food, or drug). Most commonly the patient will only have a rash. Sometimes this is accompanied by edematous swelling of the lips, face and/or hands (angioedema). In the more severe cases, patients may have wheezing, laryngeal edema and/or frank cardiovascular collapse (anaphylaxis). The urticarial rash consists of sharply defined, slightly raised wheals surrounded by erythema and tending to be circular or serpiginous. Each eruption is transient, lasting no more than 8-12 hours, but it may be replaced by new lesions in different locations. Attempt to elicit a precipitating cause, including drugs, foods, stress, or an underlying infection or illness, (e.g., collagen vascular disease, malignancy, or, when accompanied by arthralgias, anicteric hepatitis). For immediate relief of severe pruritis, you can try 0.3cc of epinephrine (1:1000) subcutaneously, but this wears off quickly, and adds a number of side effects the patient may find worse than the itching: tachycardia, shaking, dry mouth, wet palms, hypertension, and even angina and myocardial infarction.

Extractions: Hives are raised pale red "wheals" which may itch or burn. They can vary in size greatly and can occur on any part of the skin. Hives may be classified as acute or chronic. Acute hives usually has an identifiable cause such as an allergen, drug reaction, or infection. Chronic hives last for 6 months or more and often have no identified cause. Treatment is usually based on identifying (and removing) the cause and treatments to relieve the symptoms. Also called: Hives, Angioneurotic Edema Other topics of interest on SupportPath.com:
