Özet

Objectives: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common skin disease characterised by skin lesions and angioedema lasting longer than six weeks. Although many factors, such as autoimmune diseases, infections, drugs and malignities, are blamed in the etiology, no reason can be found in a significant majority of the patients. The present study aims to investigate the factors which have a role in the etiology in patients diagnosed with CU.
