“…L'âge moyen des patients était de 34,5 ans avec des extrêmes de 6 ans et 76 ans. Boussaid et al en Algérie avaient rapporté un âge moyen de 39,60 ans [12]. L'urticaire chronique est survenue principalement dans notre série chez les jeunes (34,1% de patients âgés de 20 à 30 ans).…”

“…L'angioedème était associé aux papules oedémateuses chez 52 (40,3%) patients. Notre résultat est similaire à celui de la Tunisie et de l'Algérie où les plaques et les angio-oedèmes coexistent dans respectivement 40% et 50% des cas [12]. Aussi, dans une étude réalisée dans plusieurs pays au Magrheb, l'angio-oedème était associé à l'urticaire dans 36% des cas [18].…”

The aim of this study was to document the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and progressive profile of chronic urticaria in dermatology in Lomé (Togo). Patients and Method: We carried out a prospective study in the three public dermatology departments of Lomé from November 2017 to April 2019. All patients with chronic urticaria diagnostic were included. Results: In total, 129 (1.1%) of the 11,355 patients seen during the study period had chronic urticaria. The mean age of the patients was 34.5 ± 13 years and the sex ratio (M / F) was 0.49. A history of personal (65.1%) or familial (47.6%) atopy was found. Typical fleeting edematous papular lesions were present in 100% of patients and angioedema in 52 (40.3%) patients. Treatment was based on antihistamines antis H1 (100% of patients); mainly second generation (86% of patients). Remission was noted in 69.9% of patients. Conclusion: Chronic urticaria is a rare pathology in dermatological consultation in Lomé. The superficial forms are the most observed.

“…The prevalence of urticaria, an inflammatory dermatosis characterised by the occurrence of oedematous, fleeting, highly pruritic and migratory papular plaques of cutaneous and/or mucosal location, is increasing [1] [2] [3] [4]. Approximately 20% of individuals have suffered from an acute episode of urticaria at least one time in their lives [1] [5]. In 2014, in France, it affected 20% of adults and 10% of children [6] [7].…”
