AMAYA, Daniel; SANCHEZ, Andrés  e  SANCHEZ, Jorge. Urticaria inducible: serie de casos y revisión de la literatura. Biomédica [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.1, pp.10-21. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v36i1.2678.

Inducible urticaria is a heterogeneous group of skin disorders characterized by the appearance of wheals, pruritus and/or angioedema, sometimes accompanied by systemic symptoms caused by innocuous stimuli (cold, heat, pressure, etc.). This group of disorders compromises people´s quality of life and most of the literature in this regard comes from case reports and case series since its epidemiology has been poorly studied and some cases are very rare. The aim of this review is to show an up-to-date overview of the available literature for various types of inducible urticarias, always beginning with an illustrative case and then describing their pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and treatment.
