Key Message:
The literature regarding the characteristics and underlining mechanisms
of chronic spontaneous urticaria in children is limited.
This retrospective cohort study included 250 children with chronic
spontaneous urticaria. Chronic spontaneous urticaria in children is a
self-limited disease. Urticaria lasted up to 2 years in most of the
children. One third had at least one atopic disease. Atopic dermatitis
and allergic rhinitis were the most prevalent, and significantly more
common than in the general pediatric population.
