Acute phase inflammatory markers in patients with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)‐induced acute urticaria/angioedema and after aspirin challenge

Abstract

These results indicate that an acute systemic inflammatory response is activated in patients with NSAIDs-induced urticaria and/or angioedema. The study supports the evidence proving that up-regulation of CRP and IL-6 in urticaria/angioedema does not necessarily reflect any concomitant infection or other inflammatory processes, but may be due to the disease itself.
