- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 48-year-old Caucasian woman who was successfully treated with anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) therapy after developing severe urticaria factitia. It states that she was treated with nonsedating antihistamines after her skin produced massive pruritus and whealing but none of the treatments have resulted in sufficient symptom control. However, when the anti-IgE treatment was performed, complete protection from symptom development was achieved.
