: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a frequent disorder in which activation of effector cells and histamine release can be induced via several distinct pathogenetic mechanisms. Much work has been carried out to identify biomarkers useful for classifying CSU patients, and to predict their response to currently available treatments.: The recent literature dealing with CSU biomarkers was screened in PubMed and Google Scholar using 'chronic spontaneous urticaria', 'biomarker', 'diagnosis', 'therapy' and 'treatment response' as key words.

The elucidation of the nature of several environmental allergens has revealed striking structural and immunologic similarities with human proteins.
