Description
Book SynopsisUrticaria, commonly known as ‘hives’, is a skin rash which can have allergic and non-allergic causes.
This handbook is an initiative of the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) Urticaria Centers of Reference and Excellence (UCARE).
Divided into 22 sections, the text begins with an overview of urticaria, its classification, and aetiopathogenesis.
The next chapters describe different types of urticaria, diagnostic measures, and therapeutic management.
The final sections examine urticaria in children, in the elderly, in pregnancy and lactation, and in kidney, liver and cardiac disease. A separate chapter covers patient education material.
Authored by renowned worldwide experts, the text is further enhanced by clinical images, tables and figures to assist learning.
