Abstract

Chronic spontaneous urticaria is a condition that persists for more than six weeks, it occurs in the absence of an identifiable triggering factor and from the pathogenic activation of mast cells and basophils. The possibility of autoimmune etiology in up to 40 % of patients is presented, followed by subclinical infections and psychological factors. Two main mechanisms of the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria have been proposed: the former is the dysregulation of intracellular signaling pathways within mast cells and basophils, which leads to defects in the traffic or function of these cells. The latter is the development of autoantibodies against FcεRIα or IgE, in both mast cells and basophils. Numerous autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis have been associated with chronic urticaria; however, autoimmune thyroid disease deserves a special mention. A higher prevalence of antithyroid antibodies has been found, regardless of thyroid function (euthyroidism, hypo and hyperthyroidism) in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria. Several infections have been linked to chronic urticaria. The best evidence is for Helicobacter pylori infection. Finally, stress is associated with the onset of the disease through the activation of the sympathetic and adrenomedullary system and the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis. Diagnosis may vary in different regions of the world, but the common feature is the completion of a thorough medical history.
