We found increased serum histamine-releasing activity (HRA) in 27% of
patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria. Patterns of clinical
manifestations were similar in those with and without serum HRA, including
responses to a standard treatment regimen. In HRA+ patients the degree of
serum HRA generally correlated with clinical disease activity.
