[Delayed pressure urticaria: therapeutic response to cetirizine].

B Tadmor, Alan Rubinow, Meir Shalit

Abstract

We describe a 39-year-old man who suffered from delayed pressure urticaria for 2 years. His severe symptoms did not respond to antihistamine (H1 and H2) treatment and corticosteroid therapy was given despite severe side-effects. A new, nonsedating antihistamine drug, cetirizine, relieved most of his symptoms, enabled him to be weaned from corticosteroid therapy, and restored his former quality of life.
