“…The relationship between chronic HCV infection and urticaria is still debatable, as there have been conflicting reports both in favor of and against an HCV role in causing urticaria. Our results are in similar line with Malik et al (2008), Siddique et al (2004), Ahmed et al (2003), Kanazawa et al (1996), and Reichel and Mauro (1990), who have mentioned the positive relationship between HCV and urticaria but in contradiction with Raslan et al (2009), Cribier et al (1999), Llanos et al (1998), andSmith et al (1997), who reported the weaker or lack of association between HCV infection and urticaria. Specific pathological details are unclear, but immunological mechanisms arising from the viral-dependent proliferation of…”

“…The control groups consisted of patients with a different chronic inflammatory skin disease (chronic urticaria) and patients with malignant melanoma. Similar to lichen ruber planus, the discussion on hepatitis as a potential trigger in chronic urticaria is also highly controversial [17, 18]. There is no known correlation between malignant melanoma and hepatitis infection; this was consistent with the findings in our control group of patients with malignant melanoma.…”

“…Rates of HCV positivity in patients with chronic urticaria were similar to those in the general population of France, Turkey and Italy . In six studies that also investigated control subjects, their prevalence of CHC was found to be comparable to that of patients with CSU . In one study from China, CHB was even found to be less prevalent in patients with CSU as compared to the general population …”

“…In three studies, the prevalence of HAV ranged from 0% (two studies) to 8.3% (one study) . The prevalence of hepatitis G virus (GBV‐C), in one study, was 1.8% . We did not find any reports on the prevalence of hepatitis D and E in patients with CSU.…”
