Abstract:
Chronic urticaria is an inflammatory skin disorder defined by the presence of evanescent erythematous pruritic wheals, angioedema, or both. While treatment guidelines are continuing to become more clearly defined, there is still a gap in the medical literature surrounding chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) treatment in vulnerable populations such as children (aged 0-18 years), pregnant women, and the elderly (aged >65 years). The purpose of this review is to provide an update on CSU in each of these special population categories by defining prevalence, identifying diagnostic considerations, and exploring current and future management options.
摘要:
慢性荨麻疹是一种炎症性皮肤病,其定义为存在渐逝的红斑瘙痒风团,血管性水肿,或者两者兼而有之。虽然治疗指南继续变得更加明确,在儿童(0-18岁)等弱势群体中,围绕慢性自发性荨麻疹(CSU)治疗的医学文献仍然存在差距,孕妇,和老年人(年龄>65岁)。这项审查的目的是通过定义患病率来提供CSU在每个特殊人群类别中的最新信息,确定诊断注意事项,探索当前和未来的管理选择。
