ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Urticaria pigmentosa(UP) is primarily a disease of children. There have been no clinical studies of UP in Korea.

OBJECTIVE:

This study was performed to find the clinical characteristics of UP in Korean child-hood patients.

METHOD:

Twenty-nine cases of urticaria pigmentosa confirmed clinically and histopathologically were analyzed.

RESULTS:

The maculopapular type was the most common with the usual age of onset before the age of 6 months, and the lesions tended to be distributed in the central portion of the body. Darier sign was positive in 92% of the patients(24/26). No systemic involvements were detected in any of the patients with minimal associated symptoms. Seven patients of the maculopapular type and one patient of the multiple nodular type followed up for more than 2 years showed a tendency to improve or clear by the age of 6 years.

CONCLUSION:

Neonatal or infantile-onset patients of UP in Korean pediatric population were considered to have a benign clinical course and to require no aggressive therapy.
