Abstract
- The beneficial effects of cyclosporine in severe chronic urticaria are well described. A 20-year-old woman suffered from chronic urticaria for 3 years, had been treated with oral antihistamines and glucocorticoids, but her symptoms were uncontrolled. Laboratory examination including eosinophil count, IgE total value, complement level, anti-nuclear antibodies, hepatic, and renal function test and esophagogastroscopic study, revealed no abnormalities. Since she was treated with cyclosporine 6mg/kg/day for 3months, no erythema and wheals with itching have not developed. Herein we report a case of chronic idiopathic urticaria treated with cyclosporine in a 20-year-old woman.
