As a result of the investigation made of the incidence of urticaria classed by age and sexuality, results of clinical biochemical tests, tabulation of the antihistaminic agents used, and results of the treatments with the antihistaminics on 277 patients with urticaria the authors have encountered in the last ten months, the following conclusion has been reached:
1. Results of clinical biochemical tests:
a. Hepatic function tests (S-GOT and S-GPT):
The S-GPT and the S-GOT have been fonud to be scarcely correlated with urticaria.
b. RA reaction, ALSO value, and peripheral white blood cell count: These test items have been found to scarcely vary with urticaria.
c. CRP:
The CRP has been found to fall along with improvements in the condition.
2. Incidence of urticaria classed by age and sexuality:
The incidence, when classed by age, has proved to be high in the age grades of teenage to 30′s, and when classed by sexuality, to be about two times higher in females.
3. Antihistaminic agents:
Homochlorcyclizine (Homoclomin) has been chiefly used, and a number of patients have been medicated with two different antihistaminic agents in conjunction.
4. The therapy with antihistaminic agents have cured almost all patients within 20 days.
The treatment with histaglobin has been suggested for patients who have not been improved in condition within 20 days.
