Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic urticaria coming for examination and treatment at Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato-Vereneology.

Subjects and Methods: A case series descriptive study was conducted on 60 patients with chronic urticaria who were examined and treated at Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato-Vereneology. The study period was carried out from Oct 2016 to Apr 2017.

Results: The proportion of female patients was higher than male patients (65% and 35%, respectively). The age group of onset of the disease was the majority of 20 - 29 years old (41.7%). The majority of patients had a disease duration of 8 - 12 weeks (48.3%). The accompanying angioedema rate was 36.7%. The average duration of lesions mostly ranged from 4 - 12 hours (48.3%). The average severity score according to the Breneman et al scale was 8.43 ± 1.52. The majority of patients fell into the moderate severity category (75%).

Conclusion: Female patients had a higher proportion than males, mainly in the young age group. The majority of patients had moderate disease severity.
