Abstract

VITAMIN D TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC URTICARIA: A CASE REPORT

Dr. Ashutosh Tiwari*

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Chronic urticaria is characterised by recurrent hives, with or without angioedema, persisting for 6 weeks or longer. Although often suspected by patients, in fact specific allergen triggers are infrequent. While some evidence suggests an association of chronic urticaria with vitamin D levels, measurement of vitamin D or supplementation is not a part of diagnostic or treatment recommendations. Case presentation: We present a case of a 34-year-old male with refractory chronic urticaria who experienced prompt remission with high-dose vitamin D repletion when vitamin D deficiency was identified as an incidental finding. Conclusions: In some patients, vitamin D may have a role in the pathophysiology and treatment of chronic urticaria; however, the cost-effectiveness of routine laboratory screening in chronic urticaria is unknown.
