Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this review is to describe the causes of patients with acute urticaria who admitted dermatology outpatient clinic.

Materials and Methods: Adult patients (age > 18 years) who were diagnosed with acute urticaria were included in our study. Our sample consisted of 159 patients with acute urticaria who applied to three different dermatology outpatient clinics between 2021-2022 years. Age, gender, duration of disease, history of angioedema, presence of triggering factor, history of chronic urticaria, and admission to the emergency department were collected retrospectively from records.
Results: A total of 159 patients 102 (%64.1)were female and 57 (%35.8) were male. 82 (51.6%) patients had a triggering factor and no factor was detected in the remaining 77 (48.4%) patients. The total number of patients who admitted to the emergency department was 42 ( 26.4%). The most common triggering factor was drugs (n=31, 37.8%) followed by infections. The most commonly used drug type was Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the most common infection was upper tract ınfections.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that drugs and infections are common causative factors for acute urticaria consistent with the literature. When we examined patients with acute urticaria, especially in the emergency department or dermatology outpatient clinic, we need to keep in mind that detecting possible triggering factors can prevent the disease from recurring or the development of life-threatening symptoms.
