“…Rapid local vasodilatation and increased vascular permeability due to vasoactive mast cell‐derived mediators such as histamine are pivotal in the pathophysiology of vibration‐induced angio‐oedema 2 . In vitro assays and efficacy of H 1 antihistamines imply that the vibratory angio‐oedema may also be histamine induced 5 . In cases of persisting oedema chemotactic mediators of mast cells are responsible for the inflammatory infiltrate.…”

“…After experiencing an appropriate vibratory stimulus, patients generally complain of local pruritus, erythema, and swelling arising within a few minutes. There is a single case report of a patient who experienced a delayed onset of symptoms at 1 to 2 hours [110]. Symptoms peak in severity at 4 to 6 hours and typically resolve by 24 hours.…”

Physical urticarias are a unique subgroup of chronic urticaria in which patients develop urticaria secondary to environmental stimuli. Common triggers include exercise, temperature changes, cold, heat, pressure, sunlight, vibration, and water. Systemic symptoms have occurred during severe episodes. Physical urticarias are responsible for approximately 20% to 30% of all cases of chronic urticaria. A basic knowledge of these unusual disorders is important for all healthcare providers. This article covers the following types of physical urticarias: dermatographism, cholinergic urticaria, local heat urticaria, exercise-induced anaphylaxis, vibratory angioedema, solar urticaria, and aquagenic urticaria.

“…47 Physical stimuli may result in basophil-mast cell stimulation as in the rare hereditary syndrome of vi bratory angioedema 48 in which the stimulus was subsequently shown to result in histamine release. 49 Other physical stimuli may result in local reaction or in systemic, anaphylactic type of reactions such as exercise induced anaphylaxis. 50…”

Allergic antibodies, now known to be of the IgE class, have been associated with basophil and mast cell activation and thus with histamine release since these cells contain histamine. Common allergen induced diseases such as allergic rhinitis have been correlated with IgE antibody. basophils. mast cells and histamine re/ease and partial control with pharmacologic use of histamine receptor blockade. This report now classifies all immediate-type reactions in reference to basophils and mast cells and activation of these cells. This approach appears particularly important in relation to those immediate-type reactions which simulate IgE mediated responses but in which no allergenic stimulus is present. The mechanisms of pharmacologic control of these basophil-mast cell response syndromes and potential research approaches are emphasized.
