Pathogenesis of Cholinergic Urticaria in Relation to Sweating Toshinori Bito1, Yu Sawada2 and Yoshiki Tokura3 Allergology International. 2012;61:539-544 ! DOI: 10.2332 allergolint.12-RAI-0485 REVIEW ARTICLE Review Series: Advances in Consensus, Pathogenesis and Treatment of Urticaria and Angioedema Pathogenesis of Cholinergic Urticaria in Relation to Sweating Toshinori Bito1, Yu Sawada2 and Yoshiki Tokura3 ABSTRACT Cholinergic urticaria (CU) has clinically characteristic features, and has been frequently described in the litera- ture. However, despite its comparatively old history, the pathogenesis and classification remains to be clarified. CU patients are occasionally complicated by anhidrosis and!or hypohidrosis. This reduced-sweat type should be included in the classification because the therapeutic approaches are different from the ordinary CU. It is also well-known that autologous sweat is involved in the occurrence of CU. More than half of CU patients may have sweat hypersensitivity. We attempt to classify CU and address the underlying mechanisms of CU based on the published data and our findings. The first step for classification of CU seems to discriminate the pres- ence or absence of hypersensitivity to autologous sweat. The second step is proposed to determine whether the patients can sweat normally or not. With these data, the patients could be categorized into three subtypes: (1) CU with sweat hypersensitivity; (2) CU with acquired anhidrosis and!or hypohidrosis; (3) idiopathic CU. The pathogenesis of each subtype is also discussed in this review. KEY WORDS acetylcholine, acetylcholine receptor, anhidrosis, hypohidrosis, sweat hypersensitivity choline.

  • 10 Chronic Urticaria As an Autoimmune Disease
    10 Chronic Urticaria as an Autoimmune Disease Michihiro Hide, Malcolm W. Greaves Introduction Urticaria is conventionally classified as acute, intermittent and chronic (Grea- ves 2000a). Acute urticaria which frequently involves an IgE-mediated im- munological mechanism, is common, its causes often recognised by the patient, and will not be considered further. Intermittent urticaria – frequent bouts of unexplained urticaria at intervals of weeks or months – will be dis- cussed here on the same basis as ‘ordinary’ chronic urticaria. The latter is conventionally defined as the occurrence of daily or almost daily whealing for at least six weeks. The etiology of chronic urticaria is usually obscure. The different clinical varieties of chronic urticaria will be briefly considered here, and attention will be devoted to a newly emerged entity – autoimmune chronic urticaria, since establishing this diagnosis has conceptual, prognostic and the- rapeutic implications. Contact urticaria and angioedema without urticaria will not be dealt with in this account. Classification of Chronic Urticaria The clinical subtypes of chronic urticaria are illustrated in the pie-chart of Fig. 1. The frequency of these subtypes is based upon the authors’ experience at the St John’s Institute of Dermatology in UK. Whilst there may well be mi- nor differences, it is likely that the frequency distribution of these subtypes will be essentially similar in most centres in Europe and North America (Grea- ves 1995, 2000b). However, our experience suggests that the incidence of angioedema, especially that complicated by ordinary chronic urticaria is sub- stantially lower in Japan and south Asian countries (unpublished observation). 310 Michihiro Hide and Malcolm W.

  • Sensitization Against Skin Resident Fungi Is Associated with Atopy In
    Altrichter et al. Clin Transl Allergy (2020) 10:18 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13601-020-00324-z Clinical and Translational Allergy RESEARCH Open Access Sensitization against skin resident fungi is associated with atopy in cholinergic urticaria patients Sabine Altrichter1 , Pia Schumacher1, Ola Alraboni1, Yiyu Wang1, Makiko Hiragun2, Michihiro Hide2 and Marcus Maurer1* Abstract Background: Cholinergic urticaria (CholU) is a common type of chronic inducible urticaria, characterized by small itchy wheals that appear upon physical exercise or passive warming. Malassezia globosa, a skin resident fungus, has been identifed as an antigen that induces mast cell/basophil degranulation and wheal formation through specifc IgE, in Japanese patients with atopic dermatitis and CholU. In this study we aimed in assessing the rate of IgE sensiti- zations against skin resident fungi in European CholU patients. Methods: We assessed serum IgE levels to Malassezia furfur, Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes using routine lab testing and Malassezia globosa using a newly established ELISA. We correlated the results to wheal forma- tion and other clinical features. Results: Four patients (of 30 tested) had elevated levels of IgE against Malassezia furfur and Candida albicans and two had elevated levels of IgE against Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Four sera (of 25 tested) had elevated levels of IgE to the Malassezia globosa antigen supMGL_1304. Sensitization to one skin fungus was highly correlated with sensitiza- tion to the other tested fungi. We saw highly signifcant correlations of sensitization to supMGL_1304 with wheal size in the autologous sweat skin test (r 0.7, P 0.002, n 19), the Erlangen atopy score (r 0.5, P 0.03, n 19), total s = = = s = = = IgE serum levels (rs 0.5, P 0.04, n 19) and a positive screen for IgE against common airborne/inhalant allergens s (sx1; r 0.54, P 0.02,= n =19).

It is associated with the emergence of allergen-specific IgE, but also with autoreactive IgE, whose function remain elusive. This review discusses current knowledge relevant to the mechanisms, which leads to the secretion of autoreactive IgE and to the potential function of these antibodies in AD. Multiple autoantigens have been described to elicit an IgE-dependent response in this context. This IgE autoimmunity starts in infancy and is associated with disease severity. Furthermore, the overall prevalence of autoreactive IgE to multiple auto-antigens is high in AD patients. IgE-antigen complexes can promote a facilitated antigen presentation, a skewing of the adaptive response toward type 2 immunity, and a chronic skin barrier dysfunction and inflammation in patients or AD models. In AD, skin barrier defects and the atopic immune environment facilitate allergen sensitization and the development of other IgE-mediated allergic diseases in a process called the atopic march. AD is also associated epidemiologically with several autoimmune diseases showing autoreactive IgE secretion. Thus, a potential outcome of IgE autoreactivity in AD could be the development of further autoimmune diseases. Keywords: atopic dermatitis; autoreactive IgE; IgE; autoimmunity; basophil 1.
