Background. Chronic urticaria is defined as urticaria persisting daily for more than six weeks. A significant number of patients had autoimmune basis where autologous serum skin test is widely used for detection of chronic autoimmune urticaria. Objectives. To estimate the frequency of autoimmune urticarial in Iraqi patients utilizing the autologous serum skin test and to evaluate its results with the variable clinical features of chronic idiopathic urticaria. Methods. In this prospective study, 54 patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria were investigated with autologous serum skin test where its results were examined with the different clinical parameters of chronic autoimmune urticaria. Results. Twenty two patients (40.7%) out of 54 patients with chronic idiopathic urticarial had positive autologous serum skin test. Statistical analysis of the clinical variables did not show a significant difference between patients with positive and negative autologous serum skin test except for the distribution of wheals on the face and extremities which was significantly associated with positive autologous serum skin test results (P value 0.004). Conclusion. Autologous serum skin test is a simple, office-based test for detecting chronic autoimmune urticaria patients who have no distinctive clinical features differentiating them from chronic idiopathic urticaria patients.

Initial Identification

Background: Autologous serum skin test (ASST) is easy to perform, cost effective measure for initial identification of auto-antibody in patients suffering from chronic urticaria which may occur due to autoimmune trigger by spontaneously developed auto-antibodies against FcμRI receptor of skin mast cells.Objective: This review is designed to see the positivity of ASST in patients suffering from chronic urticaria.Materials & Methods: This a retrospective data analysis conducted from the records of patients suffered from at least two episodes of urticaria or more in a week for 6 weeks and who did ASST aged more than 10 years between July 2015 to June 2017. These subjects were not pregnant or lactating mother, did not had urticarial vasculitis, predominant co-existing physical urticaria and had negative Hepatitis B antigen and anti-nuclear antibody reports.Results: Total 53 were included in this study of them 33 were female. Mean age was 32 years with a standard deviation (SD) of 11 years. Among study patients 16 (30.2% of total) had a positive ASST result. No age or sex difference was observed in positive ASST cases. In positive cases significant (p-value:<0.001) mean induration difference of 2.75mm with a SD of 1.00 mm observed than induration produced by negative control.Conclusion: ASST is easy and effective tool for initial identification of auto-reactive urticaria.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 100-103

BACKGROUND: An association between class I and II alleles of the major histocompatibility complex and idiopathic chronic urticaria has previously been observed in different populations, but there are still no studies on Brazilian populations in this regard. OBJECTIVE: The involvement of the major histocompatibility complex classes I and II (loci A, B and DR) in Brazilian patients with idiopathic chronic urticaria and a positive autologous serum skin test was investigated and compared with a healthy population group. METHODS: DNA was extracted from the blood of 42 patients with idiopathic chronic urticaria and major histocompatibility complex classes I and II alleles were determined using the polymerase chain reaction and a laboratory test for oligonucleotide hybridization using a single-filament probe. The frequencies of these alleles in patients with chronic urticaria were compared with the frequencies in 1000 genetically unrelated voluntary blood donors from the same region of Brazil. The diagnosis of idiopathic chronic urticaria was based on the patients' clinical history and routine laboratory tests. Only the patients with positive autologous serum skin test were selected. The allele distribution resulted from the patient and control groups were analyzed using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found between the positive autologous serum skin test patients with chronic urticaria and the control group. CONCLUSIONS: We found that in this population group, there was no specific association between the HLA alleles studied and chronic urticaria. We believe that further population studies are needed in order to investigate the possible existence of this association.
