Abstract
Of 231 patients with chronic urticaria, 8 presented with arthritis. All had elevated sedimentation rates, 5 had depressed complement (CH50) and 2 had elevated serum immune complexes (IC). Skin biopsies were abnormal in only 4 patients, unrelated to abnormalities of CH50 or IC. No single diagnostic test was consistently abnormal.
