Zusammenfassung

Im Unterschied zum Erwachsenenalter ist über die Pathogenese der chronisch spontanen Urtikaria (csU), definiert als Beschwerdesymptomatik von mindestens 6 Wochen, im Kindesalter wenig bekannt. Aus diesem Grund basieren derzeitige Therapieempfehlungen für die csU bei Kindern auf Daten von erwachsenen Patienten. In der vorliegenden Übersicht sollen Daten zur Prävalenz und der Pathogenese der csU im Kindesalter analysiert werden. Weiterhin sollen wesentliche diagnostische Schritte erläutert, und ein therapeutisches Flussdiagramm dargestellt werden.

Summary

In contrast to adult patients, little is known about the pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria, defined as symptoms longer than 6 weeks, in children. Therefore, most therapeutic recommendations in children are based on data from adult patients. This summary will try to analyze the existing data on chronic spontaneous urticaria in children. Major diagnostic steps will be explained, and a flow chart of therapeutic decisions will be proposed.
