Abstract

Objective:To invest possible association between HSU and: i) ASST ii) autoimmune diseases, iii) autoimmune serology, iv) atopy and dermographism.
Methods:This is a perspective study. Patients with CSU (chronic spontaneous urticaria) were studied. UAS7 was
applied to all of them.ASST and the following blood analyses were performed: anti- TPO, anti-nuclear antibodies
(ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF). Results: We analyzed 48 patients with CSU; most of them were women, angioedema was associated with CSU in more than half of the patients, ASST was positive in more than one third of the patients and almost the same number of patients had positive autoimmune status.Almost half of the patients had a personal history of atopy and presence of dermographism. Conclusions: This study brings additional evidences of interest in patients with CSU as they could be associated to ASST and autoimmunity.
Keywords: Chronic spontaneous urticaria, ASST, autoimmunity
