Pure Cold-Induced Cholinergic Urticaria in a Pediatric Patient

Abstract EN

Cold urticaria and cholinergic urticaria are two distinct entities.

The presentation of exclusive cold-induced cholinergic urticaria is very rare.

The patient described herein had experienced urticaria in the exclusive setting of exercising in a cold environment.

Urticarial testing including laboratory and in-office testing was all negative.

The patient has prevented urticaria symptoms with oral antihistamine therapy.

Pure cold-induced cholinergic urticaria is rarely described in literature.

This form of urticaria has yet to be described in a pediatric patient.
