Recurrent oedema of the uvula in a patient with chronic spontaneous urticaria successfully treated with omalizumab.

We describe a case of a 62-year old woman had had recurring uvula oedema and chronic urticaria, not responder to antihistamines and oral corticosteroids. After 6 months of treatment with omalizumab and antihistamines, no urticaria recurrence was reported and no new episodes of angioedema had occurred. Our experience showed that omalizumab might be effective in patients with recurrent uvula oedema associated to urticaria. PMID: 30513061 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
