Divided into 22 sections, the text begins with an overview of urticaria, its classification, and aetiopathogenesis. The next chapters describe different types of urticaria, diagnostic measures, and therapeutic management. The final sections examine urticaria in children, in the elderly, in pregnancy and lactation, and in kidney, liver and cardiac disease. A separate chapter covers patient education material.
