E xercise-induced anaphylaxis is a distinct form of physical allergy and, although rare, has been consistently described in the literature since the 1970s. This disorder is classically characterized by a spectrum of symptoms occurring during physical activity that ranges from mild cutaneous signs to severe systemic manifestations such as hypotension, syncope and even death. In susceptible persons, ingestion of certain foods or medications before physical activity may be a predisposing factor for exercise-induced anaphylaxis.

TCM Hospital: Urticaria And Traditional Chinese Medicine In China Urticaria is an allergic skin disease with skin wheals as the main manifestation. The main clinical signs are the appearance of wheals over the skin with sudden onset and rapid disappearance, leaving no trace after recovery. There is a sensation of severe itching and burning heat on the affected part. Urticaria can recur frequently and each episode can last for a long time. In TCM this disease is called wandering wind evil. Main Points of Diagnosis: 1.The wheals appear suddenly. Most of them are red and only a few are pale. Their shapes vary, but they all have a clear border. They may occur throughout the body or may be restricted to the face, neck or limbs. They may arise one after another and recur frequently. After recovery there will be no trace remaining. 2. There is significant itching and a burning sensation. 3. Dermatological test is positive. The wheal may be caused by mechanical stimulation. 4. In case of occurrence in the respiratory tract or on the mucous membranes of the digestive system, some relevant symptoms will develop.

Home What Is Chronic Urticaria? Useful Information Frequently Asked Questions ... Resources and Links Home The International Chronic Urticaria Society (ICUS) supports a cyber-society of people with chronic urticaria (CU), or hives. Chronic hives differ from acute hives in that the cause is not often determined, and many people suffer from CU for years at a time. We have an active and very supportive email list. Through the list and its very knowledgeable members, we have gathered a large amount of useful information about this often baffling disorder. In addition to information, members have found solace and support from others who struggle with the same issues, small and large. The information ICUS provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace consultation with a qualified physician. ICUS does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Chronic urticaria varies widely from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. ICUS only advises: Be well informed on your condition. Knowledge is healthy.

Site map Search: Home Reactions Urticaria Urticaria refers to a group of disorders in which red patches and weals occur in the skin. The release of chemicals from mast cells in the skin causes small blood vessels to leak and results in tissue swelling. The weals can be a few millimetres or several centimetres in diameter, coloured white or red, often surrounded by a red flare, and frequently itchy. Each weal may last a few minutes or several hours, and may change shape. Weals may be round, or form rings, a map-like pattern or giant patches. The surface weals may be accompanied by deeper swelling of eyelids, lips, hands and elsewhere. The swelling is called angioedema . Angioedema may occur with or without urticarial weals (10%). Angioedema Urticaria Generalised urticaria Generalized urticaria (hives) is often classified according to how long it has been present. Acute urticaria is of recent onset (hours, days or a few weeks).

Site map Search: Home Arthropods Papular Urticaria Papular urticaria most commonly affects children but adults may also be affected. Crops of very itchy red bumps, 0.2 - 2 cm in diameter, appear every few days. Sometimes each spot develops a fluid-filled blister up to one centimetre in diameter. They are most often on the legs and other uncovered areas such as forearms and face but sometimes they are scattered in small groups all over the body. It is difficult not to scratch the spots, which become crusted and may get infected - they are then pussy and sore. Sometimes one new spot provokes all the old ones to come up again and itch intensely. The spots seem to remain for a few days to a few weeks and can leave persistent marks or scars, especially if they have been scratched deeply. Papular urticaria is more common in spring and autumn. It may clear up on holiday or on moving house. One or several members of the family may be affected. Occasionally the eruption can clear up for years and then recur unexpectedly. It is not associated with any internal complaint and is never a serious disease. Papular urticaria is thought to be an allergic reaction to insects in the environment. Often after a few years the person becomes desensitized to these insects and the reaction dies down. A bite isn't usually noticed and it is thought that the reaction can occur simply from skin contact with parts of the insect such as its faeces and eggs - this accounts for spots in unexpected places. The most common identified causes are insects that live on cats and dogs, such as fleas and mites.
