Abstract

Chronic urticaria is an important disase can affect the quality of life. It is less common in children than adults. Angioedema is accompanied urticaria in an importantpart of the cases.  Chronic urticaria, is grouped under two main headings as chronicspontaneous urticaria and chronic inducible urticaria. Urticaria should be distinguished from other urticaria forms which belong systemic diseases caused by differentpathological mechanisms. The first step in treatment is to avoid trigger factors. Themost commonly used drugs in medical treatment are second-generation antihistamines. If there is no response to antihistamine treatment, the dose should be increased.If no response is obtained, additional treatment options such as omalizumab, montelukast and cyclosporin A should be considered.

Çocukluk Çağında Kronik Ürtiker'e Tanı ve Tedavi Yaklaşımı

Abstract

Öz

Kronik ürtiker hayat kalitesini etkileyebilen önemli bir hastalıktır. Çocuklarda erişkinlere oranlara daha nadir görülmektedir. Olguların önemli bir kısmında ürtikere anjioödem eşlik etmektedir. Kronik ürtiker; kronik spontan ürtiker ve kronik indüklenebilir ürtiker olmak üzere iki ana başlık altında gruplandırılmaktadır. Ayırıcı tanıda, ürtikerin bulgularından bir parçası olduğu farklı patolojik mekanizmalarla oluşan sistemik hastalıklardan ayırt edilmelidir. Tedavide ilk basamak tetikleyici faktörlerden uzak durmaktır. Medikal tedavide en çok kullanılan ilaçlar ikinci kuşak an-tihistaminiklerdir. Antihistaminik tedavisine yanıt alınmadığında doz artımına gidilmeli ve yine yanıt alınamazsa omalizumab, montelukast ve siklosporin A gibi ek tedavi seçenekleri düşünülmelidir.
