Adrenergic urticaria: a first report from Thailand.

ABSTRACT

A 22-year-old, female patient came to see the allergists because of a 10-year history of chronic urticaria. Widespread pruritic, urticarial papules developed at times of stress and exercise, each papule being surrounded by a striking blanched vasoconstricted halo. The halo hives could be replicated with an intradermal injection of adrenaline. This is the first report of adrenergic urticaria from Thailand.
