Abstract :
Urticaria is a common and challenging skin disorder. Diagnosis
and treatment of urticaria is not limited to the field of dermatology.
General physicians, allergologists and clinical immunologists are
also commonly involved in the management of patients with
urticaria.
Iranian Society of Dermatology developed a clinical practice
guideline concerning diagnosis and treatment of urticaria that
was published in 2015. The current guideline is an update to
the previous one and includes findings related to this subject
which has been published in the medical literature from 2015
to August 2018.
