Introduction: Urticaria is a heterogeneous disease which affects nearly 1 in 5 individuals in their lifetime and significantly worsens the quality of life. The aim of this study is a five-year retrospective analysis of epidemiological and clinical aspects of patients hospitalized for urticarial.Material and methods: Analysis of medical records of patients hospitalized for urticaria at the department of dermatology. The clinical and epidemiological data were analysed and compared to a control group composed of 137 healthy individuals' body mass index (BMI) and sex-matched. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test, a statistically significant difference was at p < 0.05. Results:In the analysed period 137 patients were hospitalized for urticaria, 93 females (68%) and 44 males (32%), with mean age 48.53. Thirty-eight per cent of patients have been previously diagnosed with an allergy. Over 60% of patients (60 women, 18 men) suffered from acute and 38% from chronic urticaria. A causal factor was identified in 62% of all cases, the most common were drugs (48%). Urticaria patients had significantly higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophils and glucose than controls (all p < 0.05). The patients were treated with antihistamines (94%), glucocorticosteroids (81%), and one patient was classified for omalizumab treatment.Conclusions: Urticaria still poses a challenge as the cause often remains unknown which highlights the need for novel diagnostic methods and interdisciplinary treatment. Recommended treatment includes antihistamines but among patients with chronic, treatment-resistant urticaria omalizumab should be considered.

Aos meus pais, Valentim e Jane, que tanto amo. Por serem eternos exemplos de bondade, humildade e sabedoria. Por dedicarem suas vidas, quase que exclusivamente, para minha formação profissional e humana, me dando muito apoio e, principalmente, carinho e companheirismo para os momentos de dificuldade. Ao meu irmão Guilherme, pelo amor e carinho incondicional que me acompanha por toda minha vida. À minha cunhada Nubia e minha sobrinha Elisa, que trazem amor e leveza aos nossos dias. À amiga Luiza Trevisan que me acompanha desde os primeiros passos de trajetória dentro da medicina, e que nunca desistiu de mim.e CU-QoL pós-tratamento quando comparados a valores pré-tratamento. Conclusões: Aspectos de autoimunidade foram frequentes em pacientes com UC, e terapia com omalizumabe foi eficaz no controle dos sintomas em pacientes com UC, como descrito na literatura. Os resultados indicaram que necessidade de dose quadruplicada de AH de segunda geração foi marcador importante de gravidade dos sintomas, e que o uso de PROMs foi útil para avaliar a eficácia do tratamento de pacientes com UC com omalizumabe.

Urticaria is one of the best-known dermatological diseases and affects between 15% and 25% of the global population. Angioedema, an acute complication of urticaria, affects about 3% of the population. The retrospective study took into account the patients diagnosed with urticaria in the emergency room of the Măcin City Hospital, and aimed to assess the epidemiological aspects during the 2015-2020 period, and too see how it the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic influenced the incidence of diagnosed urticaria in the emergency room of a local hospital from South-East Romania. The impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic might be observed in the ER activity of city hospitals, where a decreased number of presentations was observed, and, at the same time with an increase in the proportion and absolute number of urticaria cases.
