| Summary: | We report a case of cholinergic urticaria (CU) associated with systemic manifestations, in the form of syncope. A 21-year-old female patient, suffering for 14 years, triggers being strong emotional reactions, foul smell, and sunlight. She was diagnosed after a thorough history and extensive literature search as systemic symptoms are not usually suspected in the spectrum of CU. She was effectively managed with nonsedating antihistamines. |
