This document summarizes different types of urticaria (hives). It describes urticaria as pink, itchy swellings (wheals) that can occur anywhere on the body and last less than 24 hours. It divides urticaria into acute (<6 weeks) and chronic (>6 weeks) forms. It discusses physical urticarias like cold, solar, heat, cholinergic, aquagenic, dermographism, and delayed pressure urticaria. It also covers hypersensitivity, autoimmune, pharmacological, contact, and latex allergy urticaria. The document provides details on presentation, course, complications, differential diagnosis, investigations, and management of different types of urticaria.
Urticaria is a skin problem triggered by reaction to food, medicine or allergic to any other thing. Urticaria leads to red, itchy, and swollen skin. This disease is also known as Hives. Hives formed due to allergy, changes size rapidly and often move around, in different parts of the body.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Urticaria (hives, ‘nettle-rash’)
Is common
pink, itchy or ‘burning’ swellings (wheals) can occur anywhere on the
body.
Individual wheals do not last longer than 24 h, but new ones may
continue to appear for days, months or even years.
urticaria is divided into acute less than 6 weeks, and chronic forms,
for more than 6 weeks.
Most patients with chronic urticaria, other than those with an obvious
physical cause, have what is often known as ‘ordinary urticaria’.
5. Pathophysiology
The signs and symptoms of urticaria
are caused by mast cell
degranulation, with release of
histamine, increased capillary
permeability leading to transient
leakage of fluid into the surrounding
tissue and development of a wheal
7. Physical urticarias
Cold urticaria
Patients develop wheals in areas exposed to cold (e.g. on the face when cycling
or freezing in a cold wind).
A useful test in the clinic is to reproduce the reaction by holding an ice cube, in
a thin plastic bag to avoid wetting, against forearm skin.
A few cases are associated with the presence of cryoglobulins, cold agglutinins
or cryofibrinogens.
Solar urticaria
Wheals occur within minutes of sun exposure.
most have an IgE-mediated urticarial reaction to sunlight.
Some patients with solar urticaria have erythropoietic protoporphyria
8. Heat urticaria
In this condition wheals arise in areas after contact with hot objects or
solutions.
Cholinergic urticaria
Elicited by axiety, heat, sexual excitement or strenuous exercise
The vessels over-react to acetylcholine liberated from sympathetic
nerves in the skin.
Transient 2–5 mm follicular macules or papules resemble a blush or
viral exanthem
Aquagenic urticaria
precipitated by contact with water, irrespective of its temperature.
9.
10. Dermographism
This is the most common type of physical urticaria
the skin mast cells releasing extra histamine after rubbing or scratching, the linear wheals are
therefore an exaggerated triple response of Lewis.
They can be reproduced by scratching the back with a fingernail or blunt object.
Delayed pressure urticaria
Sustained pressure causes oedema of the underlying skin and subcutaneous tissue 3–6 h later.
last up to 48 h
kinins or prostaglandins, rather than histamine, probably mediate it.
It occurs particularly on the feet after walking, on the hands after clapping and on the buttocks
after sitting.
11.
12. Other types of
urticaria
Hypersensitivity urticaria
common form of urticaria is caused by hypersensitivity, often an IgE-mediated (type I) allergic reaction
Allergens may be encountered in 10 different ways (the 10 I’s)
Autoimmune urticaria
Some patients with chronic urticaria have an autoimmune disease with IgG antibodies to IgE or to FcIgE
receptors on mast cells, here the autoantibody acts as antigen to trigger mast cell degranulation.
Pharmacological urticaria
This occurs when drugs cause mast cells to release histamine in a non-allergic manner (e.g. aspirin, non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors and morphine).
13.
14. Contact urticaria
The allergen is delivered to the mast cell from the skin surface rather
than from the blood.
Wheals occur most often around the mouth as foods and food additives
are the most common culprits but drugs, animal saliva, caterpillars,
insect repellents and plants may cause the reaction.
Recently, latex allergy has become a significant public health concern.
15. Latex allergy
Possible reactions to the natural rubber latex include:
• contact irritant dermatitis
• contact allergic dermatitis
• type I allergy, include hypersensitivity urticaria (both by contact and by inhalation), hay fever, asthma,
anaphylaxis and, rarely, death.
Cornstarch powder in medical gloves bound to the latex proteins so that the allergen
became airborne when the gloves were put on.
Individuals at increased risk of latex allergy include health care workers, those
undergoing multiple surgical procedures (e.g. spina bifida patients)
Around 1–6% of the general population is believed to be sensitized to latex.
Prevention of latex allergy by using non-latex (e.g. vinyl) gloves should be worn by
those not handling infectious material (e.g. caterers) and, if latex gloves are chosen for
those handling infectious material, then powder-free low allergen ones should be used.
16. Presentation
Wheals
sudden appearance of pink itchy wheals, which can come up anywhere on
the skin surface
Each lasts for less than a day, and most disappear within a few hours.
Lesions may enlarge rapidly and some resolve centrally to take up an
annular shape.
In an acute anaphylactic reaction, wheals may cover most of the skin
surface.
in chronic urticaria only a few wheals may develop each day.
Angioedema
is a variant of urticaria that primarily affects the subcutaneous tissues, so
that the swelling is less demarcated and less red than an urticarial wheal.
Angioedema most commonly occurs at junctions between skin and mucous
membranes (e.g. peri-orbital, peri-oral and genital).
It may be associated with swelling of the tongue and laryngeal mucosa

21. Course
depends on its cause
If the urticaria is allergic, it will continue until the allergen is
removed, tolerated or metabolized.
Most such patients clear up within a day or two, even if the
allergen is not identified but may recur if the allergen is met again.
only half of patients attending hospital clinics with chronic
urticaria and angioedema will be clear 5 years later.
Those with urticarial lesions alone do better, half being clear after
6 months.
22. Complications
itch may be enough to interfere with sleep
or daily activities and to lead to depression.
In acute anaphylactic reactions, oedema of
the larynx may lead to asphyxiation, and
oedema of the tracheo-bronchial tree to
asthma.
23. Differential diagnosis
There are two aspects to the differential diagnosis of urticaria.
The first is to tell urticaria from other eruptions that are not urticaria at all.
The second is to define the type of urticaria
DDX
• Insect bites or stings and infestations commonly elicit urticarial responses, but these may have
a central punctum and individual lesions may last longer than 24 h.
• Erythema multiforme can mimic an annular urticaria.
• urticarial vasculitis may resemble urticaria, but individual lesions last for longer than 24 h,
blanch incompletely and may leave bruising in their wake.
• Some bullous diseases (e.g. dermatitis herpetiformis, bullous pemphigoid and pemphigoid
gestationis) begin as urticarial papules or plaques, but later bullae make the diagnosis obvious. In
these patients, individual lesions last longer than 24 h
• On the face, erysipelas can be distinguished from angioedema by its sharp margin, redder
colour and accompanying pyrexia.
• Hereditary angioedema must be distinguished from the angioedema accompanying urticaria
as their treatments are completely different.
24. Investigations
The investigations will depend on the type of urticaria.
More is learned from the history than from the laboratory.
The history should include:
• details of the events surrounding the onset of the eruption
• review of systems may uncover evidence of an underlying disease
• drugs, self-prescribed and over-the-counter medications (e.g. aspirin and herbal remedies)
If a patient has ordinary urticaria and its cause is not obvious, investigations are often deferred until it has
persisted for a few weeks or months, and are based on the history.
Many of the physical urticarias can be reproduced by appropriate physical tests, but it is important to
remember that antihistamines should be stopped for at least 3 days before these are undertaken.
25. If no clues are found in the history, investigations can be confined to a complete blood count
and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
An eosinophilia should lead to the exclusion of bullous and parasitic disease
a raised ESR might suggest urticarial vasculitis or a systemic cause.
If the urticaria continues for 2–3 months, the patient may be referred to a dermatologist for further
evaluation of internal disorders associated with urticaria and on external allergens.
Patients frequently suspect a food allergy, but this is rarely found in chronic urticaria.
Prick tests are Unhelpful
Even after extensive evaluation and environmental change, the cause cannot always be found.
