ABSTRACT

La urticaria es una de las afecciones cutáneas más comunes en niños. Se define urticaria aguda cuando persiste hasta 6 semanas, y crónica, cuando la duración es mayor. Afecta al 25 % de la población. La forma aguda es la más frecuente. La crónica representa el 0,1 %, con mayor predominio en mujeres (el 60 %). Se subdivide en urticaria crónica inducible cuando hay un desencadenante externo específico y urticaria crónica espontánea si este no está presente.Aunque la fisiopatología es compleja, la degranulación del mastocito se considera un evento clave. Los antihistamínicos anti-H1 de segunda generación son la primera línea de tratamiento tanto en la urticaria aguda como en la crónica. En pacientes no respondedores, se considerarán otras terapias.Se hará énfasis en urticaria crónica dada la dificultad en su diagnóstico, el aumento de su prevalencia y la gran afectación que produce en la calidad de vida de los niños.


Urticaria is one of the most common skin disorders in children. We define acute urticaria when it persists for less than 6 weeks, and chronic urticaria (CU), when it persists longer. Urticaria affects 25 % of the population; in most cases, it is acute urticaria. CU represents 0.1 %, with higher prevalence in women (60 %). CU is subclassified in chronic inducible urticaria when there is a specific external trigger and chronic spontaneous urticaria if it is not present.Although the pathophysiology is complex, mast cell degranulation is recognized as a key event. Second-generation H1 antihistamines are the first line of treatment in both, acute urticaria and CU. In unresponsive patients, other therapies will be considered.We will emphasize in CU due to the difficulty in its diagnosis, the increase in its prevalence and the severe impairment it causes in children ́s quality of life.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the positivity of challenge tests of patients suspected of chronic inducible urticaria and the response to treatment. Methods A retrospective study of electronic medical records of patients suspected of chronic inducible urticaria. All patients were submitted to challenge tests with triggering stimuli, according to the clinical history and, subsequently, the response to drug treatment was evaluated. Results A total of 191 patients with suspected chronic inducible urticaria were included. It was confirmed in 118 patients and 122 positive tests (4 patients with 2 different positive tests). Most had dermographic urticaria (70.3%), followed by cholinergic urticaria (17.8%). Regarding treatment, 28% responded to antihistamine in licensed doses, 34.7% with increased doses, 9.3% responded to the addition of another medication. The concomitance of chronic inducible urticaria and chronic spontaneous urticaria was found in 35.3% of patients, being more frequent in females, with longer time to control symptoms and higher frequency of cholinergic urticaria. Conclusion The confirmation of chronic inducible urticaria in patients with this suspicion, after challenge tests, was high. There was a good response to antihistamine. In the concomitance of chronic spontaneous urticaria, longer time to control symptoms and higher frequency of cholinergic urticaria were observed.


RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a positividade dos testes de provocação de pacientes com suspeita de urticária crônica induzida e sua resposta ao tratamento. Métodos Estudo retrospectivo de prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes com suspeita de urticária crônica induzida. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos aos testes de provocação com estímulos desencadeantes, conforme história clínica e, posteriormente, foi avaliada a resposta ao tratamento medicamentoso. Resultados Foram incluídos 191 pacientes com suspeita de urticária crônica induzida, a qual foi confirmada em 118 pacientes e 122 testes positivos (4 pacientes com 2 testes positivos diferentes). A maioria apresentava urticária dermográfica (70,3%), seguida de urticária colinérgica (17,8%). Em relação ao tratamento, 28% responderam ao anti-histamínico em doses licenciadas, 34,7% em doses aumentadas e 9,3% responderam à adição de outro medicamento. A concomitância de urticária crônica induzida com urticária crônica espontânea foi encontrada em 35,3% dos pacientes, sendo mais frequente no sexo feminino, com tempo mais prolongado para controle dos sintomas e maior frequência de urticária colinérgica. Conclusão A confirmação de urticária crônica induzida nos pacientes com suspeita da doença foi elevada. Houve boa resposta ao anti-histamínico. Na concomitância com urticária crônica espontânea, observou-se maior tempo para o controle dos sintomas e maior frequência de urticária colinérgica.
