| Abstract: |
The article presents a case study of a 21-year-old non-atopic male with prediagnosed IgA deficiency, Marfan syndrome and hypothyroidism with three-year history of antihistamine resistant. His histology showed superficial perivascular lymphocytic dermatitis with eosinophils and intravascular neutrophil granulocytes and diagnosis of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) treated with omalizumab. It mentions tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS). |
