Abstract
BULLER VIQUEIRA, Eva; CABELLO PULIDO, Juana and BULLER VIQUEIRA, Esperanza. Aquagenic urticaria. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.1, pp.57-59. ISSN 2386-8201.
The present is the case of a 30 year-old woman with aquagenic urticaria; her mother has the same diagnosis. Aquagenic urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria which causes wheals that usually affect the upper body. Differential diagnosis with other types of urticaria is important. Etiopathogenesis is not well known. Treatment with antihistamines improves clinical attention.
