Allergic reactions may present as, for example, rashes, pruritus (itching), urticaria, serum sickness-like reactions with rashes, fever and arthralgia, and anaphylaxis.
This disease affects 3.3% of the general population. 3.1% of the population suffer solar urticaria, a skin disorder affected by ultraviolet light.
Contact urticaria refers to a wheal-and-flare response occurring on the application of chemicals to intact skin.
The first documented case of papular urticaria was caused by the larvae.
This indicates that the reaction is only a characteristic of the patients with solar urticaria and that it is not phototoxic.
It is classified as a type of physical urticaria.
In the case of solar urticaria, phototherapy and photochemotherapy are the two major desensitization treatments.
Zuberbiers clinical research focuses on urticaria, neurodermatitis, respiratory and food allergies and allergic rhinitis.
