Eosinophil Counts

We have analysed the relationship of blood eosinophil count and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels in patients with acute and chronic idiopathic urticaria. The ECP levels and eosinophil counts were measured in the peripheral blood of 15 patients with acute urticaria, 25 with chronic idiopathic urticaria and 10 normal healthy subjects. Blood eosinophil counts and serum ECP levels increased in all patients with acute urticaria. Concerning patients affected by chronic urticaria, taking into account the recrudescence of the disease at the moment of taking the blood sample, only symptomatic patients showed increased eosinophil blood values whereas serum ECP levels were increased both in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Furthermore, serum ECP levels in chronic urticaria did not correlate with the peripheral eosinophil counts, as they did in acute urticaria. The results of the present study indicate that eosinophils may play a role in the inflammatory mechanisms in patients with acute and chronic urticaria showing a positive correlation between serum ECP levels and disease activity.

Urticaria is etiologically heterogeneous disease, where the main clinical sign is a wheal. For the duration of the disease course secrete acute and chronic urticaria. If urticaria elements in the skin of the patient are observedfrom several hours to 6 weeks, it is classified as acute urticaria, cutaneous if the process continues for more than 6 weeks, it is a chronic urticaria. The aim of our work was the optimization of diagnosis of chronic urticaria on the basis of the study of clinical and allergological and immunological characteristics of the testing results. The study involved 60 patients between the ages of 18 to 73 years with confirmed clinical diagnosis of chronic urticaria. The study was conducted in the clinic of skin and venereal diseases ofI.M. Sechenov First Medical State Medical University. Conducted clinical and anamnestic examination: medical history, assessment of complaints, determining the severity of urticaria (UAS7), quality of life (CU-Q2oL, DLQI), control of the symptoms of urticaria (UCT); laboratory tests: clinical blood test, C-reactive protein, thyroid hormones and antibodies to thyroid structures, tests to exclude physical urticaria, autologous serum skin test, D-dimer, rheumatoid factor, eosinophil-cationic protein, the total of IgE, antinuclear antibodies , C3 / C4 complement components, protein fractions, coagulation, urinalysis, general analysis offeces, feces on eggs of worms and protozoa. The study was conducted within 1 month and included diagnostic consultation period and 5 consultations every 7 days. Identified specific clinical and laboratory features that can be assigned to the diagnostic criteria for autoimmune form of chronic urticaria, which will continue to pick up these patients rational treatment. The high prevalence of urticaria, a variety offorms of the disease, the presence ofpathology predominantly in patients of working age, often ineffective diagnostic actions cause the urgency of the problem and the need for further study of this disease.

The role of Immunotherapy in Chronic Urticaria is unclear, except for isolated circumstances. Hymenoptera sting causes acute urticaria and no report of CU after Hymenoptera sting can be found in the literature. We describe a case of onset of CU after multiple wasp stings that remitted during venom immunotherapy.

Objective: to study clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory parameters in children with acute and chronic urticaria. Materials and methods: fifty-five children were examined who were admitted to the pediatric department and day-time inpatient facility of the State Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 17 in Ufa in 2019. Two groups were formed: 44 patients with acute urticaria (Group 1) and 11 patients with chronic urticaria (Group 2). For the correct analysis of the hemogram and immunogram, 2 subgroups of patients with acute urticaria were formed: Group 1a – 13 children under 5 years old and Group 1b – 31 children over 5 years old. Results: acute urticaria was typical for young children (Z cor. = -2.14665; p = 0.031822). In children with acute urticaria under five years of age, there was a correlation (p < 0.05) of age with low serum JgA levels (rs = 0.806380) and the incidence of gastropathology with JgM levels (rs = 0.872872); JgG (rs = 0.763763) and the number of blood leukocytes (rs = 0.692820). In children with acute urticaria over five years of age, a correlation was found between age and concomitant gastropathology (rs = 0.421569). Patients with chronic urticaria are characterized by eosinophilia (Z cor. = -2.96741; p = 0.003003) and a pathogenetically significant increase in the CEC level (Z cor. = 1.98537; p = 0.047104). Conclusion: the revealed differences should be taken into account during the examination and management of children with urticaria.

Urticaria is an allergic disease characterized by the appearance of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes. The disease can be caused by external factors (temperature, mechanical, chemical) or internal (diseases of internal organs, disorders of the nervous system). [1, 2]. Allergies can be caused by toxins, bacteria, and undigested food. In the diagnosis of the disease, anamnestic data, dermography and various skin allergological tests are used. There are acute (up to 6 weeks) and chronic (more than 6 weeks) urticaria. The latter is characterized by daily or frequent symptoms (blistering, itching, angioedema for 6 weeks or more [3, 4]. During life, 0.5-1% of the entire population of people suffers from chronic urticaria. At the same time, if acute urticaria is usually associated with the action of exogenous factors and allergens (food, medicines, insect bites, etc).

Urticaria, also known as hives, may affect up to 20% of the population at some time. Urticaria is described as pruritic erythematous, raised, circumscribed lesions with central pallor that blanch with pressure. Urticaria is closely associated with angioedema in 40% of individuals; approximately 10% of patients experience angioedema without urticaria. Urticarial lesions often are generalized, with multiple lesions in no specific distribution; angioedema tends to be localized and commonly affects the face (periorbital and perioral regions) or tongue. Urticaria is subdivided into acute and chronic urticaria based on the duration of symptoms. Acute urticaria lasts < 6 weeks, and an identifiable cause, such as food products, medications (aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics), or insect stings, may be discovered. Urticaria that lasts for >6 weeks is designated as chronic urticaria, and an etiology is seldom identified and thus considered spontaneous. Chronic urticaria may have an autoimmune basis. There is a well-documented association between autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto disease) and urticaria and angioedema, with a higher incidence of antithyroid (antithyroglobulin and antiperoxidase) antibodies in these patients, who are usually euthyroid. Furthermore, results of studies revealed a circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody directed against the high affinity IgE receptor alpha subunit IgE receptor (FcεRI) or IgE in 40‐60% of patients with chronic urticaria. A stepwise approach to the treatment of urticarial is recommended with second-generation H1 antihistamines being the first line of therapy.

Urticaria is an inflammatory complaint characterized by short-lived skin swellings termed ‘wheals’ or ‘hives’. It can be divided into acute urticaria, where the disease has an abrupt onset, and chronic urticaria, where wheals have occurred on a regular basis for over 6 weeks. Physical urticaria is a subgroup of chronic urticaria where an underlying external/physical trigger can be identified, while contact urticaria arises from contact with a chemical substance on the skin or mucous membranes. Angiooedema represents a similar process affecting the deeper dermal tissue and has a predilection for the skin around the eyes and mouth. It may occur in association with urticaria or as an isolated complaint.

60 patients diagnosed as having urticaria were included in the study ; 30 patients were effected with acute urticaria and 30 patients were affected with chronic urticaria. In addition, 30 healthy adult volunteers were selected as control group .The patients and control groups sera were examined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) to detect total level IgE and radial immunodiffusion (RID) to detect levels of IgG , IgA and IgM . The total level of IgE in acute urticaria ( 1.45±0.13) IU/mL and chronic urticaria (2.12 ± 0.10) IU/mL patients were significantly higher than the control groups ( 0.85 ± 0.10)IU/mL (p
