Acute Urticaria in Infancy and Early Childhood

Abstract
URTICARIA IS a common disease in childhood; however, few reports concern urticaria in infants and young children.1 Most studies include pediatric and adult patients2-4 or children of different age groups,5-13 although clinical and causative features may be different in the young child. In a previous retrospective study,1 we emphasized the presence of angioedema and hemorrhagic lesions and identified or suspected an underlying cause in 65% of cases.
