Abstract
Background Treatment of chronic urticaria consists of antihistamines as the first-line treatment. For more severe symptoms, combinations can be necessary as well as dose augmentations. The recent guidelines suggest the possibility of using omalizumab in resistant cases. We treated 2 patients with cold-urticaria (CO), 1 with cholinergic urticaria(CH) and 11 with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) with omalizumab, who had not benefited from the recommended first-line, second-line and third-line treatments.
