  • Title: [Urticaria in the child].
    Author: Richard MA, Grob JJ.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 2001 Dec; 8(12):1383-91. PubMed ID: 11811038.
    Abstract:
    Most cases of urticaria in children are short-lived and related to viral infections and/or medicine. By comparison, allergic etiologies, particularly food allergy, are relatively rare, and are mainly observed in infancy and early childhood. Chronic urticaria is even rarer and has many similarities with adulthood chronic urticaria, including unclear physiopathology. Treatment has been much improved in recent years due to the availability of new antihistaminic drugs with better efficiency and tolerance. The management of urticaria in children requires above all a methodical approach, giving the priority to the history in order to orientate the etiological diagnosis.
