Remission of chronic urticaria in the course of house dust mite immunotherapy--mere coincidence or something more to it?

Abstract
It has been hypothesised that house dust mite is as a causative and/or deteriorating factor in some cases of chronic urticaria. In this report we describe two patients with the history of respiratory house dust mite allergy and chronic urticaria, which resolved in the course of house dust mite immunotherapy. Basing on literature and our own experiences, we can only speculate that some patients suffering from mite-induced respiratory allergy and concomitant chronic urticaria may benefit additionally from allergen immunotherapy, manifesting as the withdrawal or alleviation of urticaria symptoms.
