Background: Papular urticaria is a common and often annoying disorder manifested by chronic papules caused by a hypersensitivity reaction. The link between atopic immune responses (high serum IgE, IL-4) and the development of rash is clear and has been extensively evaluated in the literature. Aim: This study was designed to find possible co relation between serum levels of IgE and IL-4 and popular urticaria. Patient and Methods: A case control study was done that included 30 patients and 30 controls who were selected randomly according to the eligibility criteria. Assessment of serum IG-E and IL-4 levels was evaluated using sandwich ELISA approach. Results: Twenty-six patients (87%) have borderline level of IgE, 1 (3%) have high level, while normal IgE level was found in 3 (10%). In the control group, 3 subjects (10%) have borderline level of IgE and 27 (90%) have normal level, while no subject had high IgE level were found. Conclusions: The present study confirmed the significantly higher values of serum IgE and IL-4 in papular urticaria patients. There was statistically significant correlation between the IL-4 and IgE levels in papularr urticaria patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
