| Zusammenfassung: | Ban and Ye discuss the study by Kan et al which evaluated real-world chronic urticaria (CU) management in Hong Kong and emphasized the role of immunologists/allergists in effectively treating CU and avoiding inappropriate COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. A substantial proportion of CU patients in Hong Kong received inappropriate treatments, including regular first-generation H1-antihistamines and systemic corticosteroids, and had persistently uncontrolled disease. Urticaria severity assessed by the UAS7 was significantly reduced after consultation with immunologists/allergists, particularly in patients with uncontrolled CU. |
