13 mar 2023 · Cold urticaria is a chronic condition causing episodic symptoms of cold-induced wheals or angioedema in response to direct or indirect exposure to cold temperatures. Whereas symptoms of cold urticaria are typically benign and self-limiting, severe systemic anaphylactic reactions are possible.
8 lis 2023 · Cold urticaria is characterized by pruritic wheals (hives) and/or angioedema due to cutaneous mast cell degranulation and their release of proinflammatory mediators after cold exposure of the skin. Triggers include skin contact with cold objects, cold liquids, and cold air.
Our systematic review included 16 studies, 9 of which met the eligibility criteria for the meta-analysis. We analyzed the effects of treatments on critical temperature thresholds (CTTs) and critical stimulation time thresholds (CSTTs), as well as on rates of complete response and adverse events.
In this review, we discuss the clinical features of the various cold-induced urticaria disorders, address the clinical chal-lenge of classifying and managing the varied presentations of these diseases, and highlight the novel genes and associated molecular mechanisms underlying the disease pathogenesis.
Cold urticaria is a physical urticaria characterized by a localized or systemic eruption of papules upon exposure of the skin to cold air, liquids, and/or objects. In some cases, angioedema and anaphylaxis also may occur.
Cold urticaria is a hypersensitivity to cold exposure (eg, wind, freezer compartments, cold water) resulting in histamine release. It usually presents as localized redness, burning, pruritus, and urticaria in the exposed areas, but may progress to a generalized systemic reaction, shock, and death.
