Background: Gut microbial involvement has been speculated in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). The aim of the study was to compare the gut microbiome composition and diversity in CSU patients uncontrolled with second-generation antihistamines (sgAHs) and healthy individuals, as well as to explore any association between gut microbiome and disease characteristics.
Methods: A cross-sectional case-control study including 20 CSU patients unresponsive to standard doses of sgAHs, and 15 age-and-sex matched healthy controls was conducted.
