| description | Aim: Chronic urticaria is a condition that requires long-term treatment. In recent years, many countries have created their own guides to evaluate urticaria diagnosis and treatment approaches in an algorithm. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of patients with chronic urticaria treated in our clinic according to the treatment algorithm the "Turkey Urticaria Diagnosis and Treatment Guide"
Material and Method: The files of the patients who applied to the Department of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases at Selcuk University and were followed up and treated with the diagnosis of chronic urticaria were investigated.
Results: A total of 102 chronic urticaria patients without angioedema were included in the study. According to this guide, 17.6% of patients responded with standard dose antihistamine therapy, while the antihistamine dose given in 15.7% of patients was increased. The antihistamine treatment of 5.7% of patients was replaced by a different group of antihistamines at the same dose as the previous one. 52% of patients responded to omalizumab 300 mg / subcutaneous treatment every 28 days. However, 7.8% of the patients received omalizumab treatment every 14 days or cyclosporine treatment was required to be added to omalizumab treatment. Response to other treatments other than standard treatments was received in 1% of patients.
Conclusion: We believe that our study will facilitate predicting the treatment responses of patients in clinical practice by shedding light on the distribution of chronic urticaria patients according to the treatment algorithm. |
