IgE mediated autoallergy against thyroid peroxidase--a novel pathomechanism of chronic spontaneous urticaria?
BACKGROUND: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (csU), which is characterized by recurrent episodes of mast cell-driven wheal and flare-type skin reactions, is often associated with elevated total IgE levels and thyroid autoimmunity.
