Resumo: | Chronic urticaria (CU) is characterized by an evanescent, itchy wheal and flare reaction that does not resolve completely after 6 weeks. It is a relatively frequent disease that causes significant morbidity. Its therapy with drugs other than H1-antihistamines has not yet been exhaustively studied, but recently some promising treatment options have been described. We describe a case of severe, corticosteroid-dependent CU that was resistant to conventional treatment with high doses of H1-antihistamines. In this case, treatment with omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, allowed control of urticaria symptoms and permitted corticosteroid interruption. No adverse reactions were reported and the drug remained effective during 18 months of therapy. We present a review of the available literature concerning the use of omalizumab in CU, emphasizing information about its long-term efficacy. |

É uma patologia relativamente frequente que causa morbilidade significativa. Atualmente, o seu tratamento com fármacos para além dos anti-histamínicos-H1 não foi exaustivamente estudada. Descrevemos um caso de UC grave, resistente à terapêutica convencional com doses elevadas de anti-histamínicos-H1, corticodependente, no qual o tratamento com o anticorpo monoclonal anti-IgE omalizumab permitiu o controlo da urticária e a interrupção de corticoides sistémicos. Não se observaram reações adversas e o fármaco permaneceu eficaz ao longo de 18 meses de terapia. É posteriormente apresentada uma revisão da literatura relativa à utilização deste fármaco, com ênfase nas suas características a longo prazo.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2014-09-19T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.72.2.268oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/268Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 72 No 2 (2014): Abril - Junho; 271-275Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 72 n. 2 (2014): Abril - Junho; 271-2752182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/268https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.72.2.268https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/268/243Silva, Pedro MoraisMendes, AnaCosta, Ana CéliaBarbosa, Manuel Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:48ZPortal AgregadorONG |
