Summary : A 14-year-old boy presented with a three month history of chronic urticaria that initially developed after a frontal and maxillary sinusitis. The individual wheals disappeared within one day. At the time of presentation no drugs were used. Thirty minutes after an electrocardiographic examination, conspicuous wheals appeared in the areas where suction disks had been applied (Fig. 1). The lesions were associated with itching. On physical examination there were no other skin changes observed. Laboratory investigation show-ed an increased antistreptolysin titer (348 IkU/I). The patient had no signs of atopy. |
