Introduction: Because of its continuous relapsing pattern and poor response to medication, chronic urticaria has a detrimental impact on sufferers' professional and social lives. Despite research improvements, the origin and cause of the varied intensity and frequency of clinical manifestation remains a mystery.
Aim: The goal of this study was to look at the clinical profile of chronic urticaria in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: The study comprised patients of both sexes aged 12 to 60 years old with a clinical diagnosis of chronic urticaria for which no cause could be identified using a standard technique.
Results: The average age of the patients with chronic urticaria was 30.44 years, and females predominated, with a male to female ratio of 1:3. The average duration of urticaria was 27.84 months, and urticaria lesions disappeared in less than 30 minutes in 48% of patients. In 38 percent of cases, there was accompanied angioedema, and in 46 percent, there was delayed pressure urticaria.
Limitations: The study's sample size was tiny, which constituted a constraint.
Conclusions: Our study's clinical profile of chronic idiopathic urticaria is comparable to that of prior research.
