Abstract
It is only a recent observation that chronic urticaria may be the sole or prominent manifestation of allergic or necrotizing vasculitis. In 1973 McDuffie et al. described four patients with hypocomplementemia, arthritis, cutaneous vasculitis and urticaria-like skin lesions [1]. One year later, Soter et al. published a comprehensive study of eight patients with urticaria, arthralgia and necrotizing vasculitis [2] and since then about 30 more patients with this syndrome of urticarial vasculitis have been reported.
