Abstract

Chronic spontaneous urticaria is characterized by recurrent urticaria with or without angioedema for more than six weeks with no apparent external triggers. It affects up to one per cent of the general population and it is common in primary care settings or emergency services. Chronic spontaneous urticaria can be debilitating, difficult to treat, and frustrating for patients and doctors. Here, we described our experience of treating five patients with recalcitrant chronic spontaneous urticaria. Through this short communication, we would like to increase awareness of the general treatment approach to chronic spontaneous urticaria in primary care and specialist services.
