While urticaria is quite common in childhood, it is less frequent as chronic condition. In this narrative review we have highlighted the causes of chronic urticaria (CU), indicating the diagnostic work-up according to age and characteristics of the patients, giving importante to the symptom presentations. The therapeutic options of CU even in children are also represented by the biologic drugs, which are usually recommended from the twelve years of life. Biologic option represents in case of CU an effective and safe intervention. Further molecules are indicated for this condition in the next future. In the review these options are discussed and experimental and registratory studies are indicated.

Abstract
While urticaria is quite common in childhood, it is less frequent as chronic condition. In this narrative review we have highlighted the causes of chronic urticaria (CU), indicating the diagnostic work-up according to age and characteristics of the patients, giving importante to the symptom presentations. The therapeutic options of CU even in children are also represented by the biologic drugs, which are usually recommended from the twelve years of life. Biologic option represents in case of CU an effective and safe intervention. Further molecules are indicated for this condition in the next future. In the review these options are discussed and experimental and registratory studies are indicated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
