Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined as occurrence of wheals and/or angioedema for ≥6 weeks. Omalizumab a monoclonal anti-IgE antibody effective in refractory CSU, but its mechanism action and markers predictive response remain not completely defined.To correlate baseline levels two proposed biomarkers, total IgE (bIgE) d-dimer (bd-dimer), clinical parameters to omalizumab relapses after drug withdrawal.In this retrospective Italian multicentre study, data were collected 470 CSU...
Summary Background Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by nail acrylates, also including methacrylates and cyanoacrylates here, is being increasingly reported.
