Article Synopsis
  • Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) shows varied patient responses to the treatment with omalizumab, highlighting the need for predictive factors for treatment efficacy.
  • A study from 2015-2022 at Pamukkale University examined clinical characteristics and several biomarkers (like eosinophils, total IgE) to see how they relate to treatment success.
  • Results indicated that patients with total IgE levels ≤ 30 IU/L had a significantly lower response rate, and non-responders had higher systemic inflammation markers compared to responders, suggesting potential predictors for treatment outcomes.

Introduction: Dermoscopy has become widespread in the diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases. Cutaneous vasculitis (CV) is characterized by inflammation of vessels, and a rapid and reliable technique is required for the diagnosis.

Objectives: We aimed to define CV dermoscopic features and increase the diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy with machine learning (ML) methods.

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common and disabling disease. Assessments of IgE and C-reactive protein (CRP) are recommended in the diagnostic work-up, but the role and clinical relevance of these biomarkers are not well characterized. Moreover, it remains unknown if elevated levels of IgE or CRP are linked to CSU microRNA (miRNA) signatures or interleukin 31 (IL-31).
