Full Description
Urticaria, commonly known as 'hives', is a skin rash which can have allergic and non-allergic causes.
This handbook is a complete guide to the management of urticaria, covering diagnostic strategies, evidence-based treatments, and practical approaches to patient care.
The text provides in depth coverage of different types of urticaria, enhanced by clinical images, flowcharts and tables to assist understanding.
