Contact urticaria is an immediate but transient localized swelling
and redness that occurs on the skin after direct contact with an
offending substance. It is caused by a variety of compounds, such
as foods, preservatives, fragrances, plant and animal products,
metals, and rubber latex and the mechanism by which these provoke
an immediate urticarial rash at the area of contact can be divided
into two categories: non-immunological contact urticaria and
immunological (allergic) contact urticaria. Non-immunological
contact urticaria typically causes mild localized reactions that
clear within hours, e.g. stinging nettle rash. This type of
urticaria occurs without prior exposure of a patient's immune
system to an allergen. Immunological contact urticaria occurs most
commonly in atopic individuals (people who are prone to allergy).
Hence prior exposure to an allergen is required for this type of
contact urticaria to occur. While there have been other texts
written on the subject over the last decade, this book is intended
as an easily accessible guide for dermatologists and residents, as
well as general practitioners, summarizing the most important
concepts that will help physicians identify the signs and symptoms
of Contact Urticaria Syndrome in their daily clinical practice.
Each chapter is laid out in the following format: Concepts, Tools
and Algorithms of Diagnosis and Management, a Clinical Case for
each entry, and Recommendations. Additionally, the Volume Editors
have worked to provide a global approach to this syndrome using
internationally standardized requirements for diagnosis.
