“…Urbach (1946) states that the cause was found in 88 % of his 500 cases, 117 of which were allergic. On the other hand, Hopkins and Kesten (1934) could total certain and probable causes in only 21 (10%) out of 214 cases of chronic urticaria. Many dermatologists to-day might well regard even this as an optimistic estimate, and will freely admit that they rarely find a precise cause for almost any case of chronic urticaria.…”

Urticaria can result from many different stimuli, and numerous factors, both immunologic and nonimmunologic, are involved in its pathogenesis. Most commonly considered of immunologic mechanisms is the type I hypersensitivity state mediated by IgE. Another immunologic mechanism involves the activation of the complement cascade, which produces anaphylatoxins that can release histamine. Immunologic, nonimmunologic, genetic, and modulating factors converge on mast cells and basophils to release mediators capable of producing urticarial lesions. In addition to the clinical and laboratory diagnosis and treatment regimens, we review such mediators as histamine, kinins, serotonin, slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis, prostaglandins, acetylcholine, fibrin degradation products, and anaphylatoxins that increase vascular permeability and can thereby produce wheals. Special consideration is given to histamine and the factors that regulate is secretory release from mast cells and basophils, including the modulating role of intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate.
