2、st introduced in 1769 by William Cullen2.WHAT IS URTICARIA(HIVES)?Red or paleitchy wheals On skinDisappear With nothing left in few hours3.CLASSIFICATION AU(acute urticaria)(6 wk)Physical urticaria4.EPIDEMIOLOGY15%to 25%of individuals will experience at least 1 episode of urticaria acute cases(70%)a
3、re more common than chronic(30%)Acute urticaria is more common in children and adolescents than in adults,while chronic urticaria more typically affects adults.In chronic urticaria,women are affected more often than men(60%versus 40%of cases,respectively).5.DIAGNOSISWheals appear,and then disappear

7、d.11.IMMUNE-MEDIATED MAST CELL ACTIVATION INCLUDESType I hypersensitivity reactions,in which allergen-bound IgE antibodies bind to high-affinity cell surface receptors on mast cells and basophilsAutoimmune disorders,in which antibodies(IgG)to an IgE receptor functionally cross-link IgE receptors and
