“…In addition, recent reviews have clarified that U V represents a heterogeneous disease spectrum including chronic urticaria and SLE. '-"-l3 Bisaccia et d. 13 reported a case with U V progressing to overt SLE after 20 months follow-up. The present patient has failed to reveal clinical or serological evidence of SLE and has not met the American Rheumatism Association criteria for SLE until now.…”

The patient was a 7‐year‐old girl with early onset urticarial cutaneous lesions and was later complicated with aseptic meningitis. Her skin lesions occurred in the infantile period and were diagnosed as urticaria, but did not disappear with antihistamines and were recurrent and persistent. In addition, she had experienced an episode of headache about once a month since 1991, when she was 4 years old, and was diagnosed as aseptic meningitis. All studies including skin biopsy for urticarial vasculitis (UV) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were negative except for the data from non‐specific inflammations. A systemic corticosteroid therapy dramatically reduced her symptoms. An unusual clinical course for this patient is described. It might suggest that this case is a presentation of the disease entity of UV, chronic urticaria and possibly SLE. To our knowledge, a similar case has not been previously reported.

“…The other group consists of patients with the so-called urticarial vasculitis of middle-aged women (45) who are hypocomplementic, have symptomatic extracutaneous involvement but do not meet the ARA criteria, and in whom SLE subsequently develops. They probably represent either an overlap or a progression of the disease to recognizable SLE (46). Some women, especially during the winter, exhibit a chronic unremitting form of lupus erythematosus, the so-called chilblain (47).…”
