Differential diagnosis between urticarial vasculitis and chronic spontaneous ur...
Krause, Karoline; Bonnekoh, Hanna; Jelden-Thurm, Jannis; Asero, Riccardo; Gimenez-Arnau, Ana Maria; Cardoso, José C.; Grattan, Clive; Kocatürk, EmekBackground: Urticarial vasculitis (UV) should be differentiated from chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) in patients initially presenting with recurrent wheals, although criteria for differential diagnosis remain ill‐defined. Objectives: To set the goals, define criteria and unmet needs in UV diagnosis and differential diagnosis with CSU, and explore the possibility of coexistence of both diseases. Methods: Thi...
A novel histopathological scoring system to distinguish urticarial vasculitis f...

As one of the major unmet needs in UV, diagnostic criteria are rather vague and not standardized. Moreover, there seems to be considerable overlap with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), particularly for the normocomplementemic variant of UV. Therefore, this study...
