Abstract

Objective: Our research aimed to determine the level of serum total IgE and its association with the epidemiological and clinical features in chronic urticaria patients at HCMC Hospital of Dermato-Venereology. Subject and method: 61 patients and 34 healthy controls matched for age and sex were included in the study. Result: Serum total IgE levels of patients with chronic urticaria were statistically significantly higher than those of the healthy group (p<0.001). Patients who had good response to antihistamine treatment showed higher total IgE levels as compared with those who had treatment resistance (p=0.034). Conclusion: Low serum IgE levels may associated with poor response to treatment with antihistamine medicines in patients with chronic urticaria.
