Chronic urticaria associated with bacterial infection. A case of dental infection.

In most cases of chronic urticaria, a specific etiology cannot be determined. This should not discourage the physician from continuing to search for its underlying cause. Infection has long been considered a cause of urticaria, although the incidence is probably low when all other common causes are considered. A case of chronic urticaria of five years duration, which was associated with chronic extensive dental infection and periodontal disease, is presented to show the importance of infection as a trigger mechanism of urticaria.

D-penicillamine-induced bronchial spasm.

Although d-penicillamine has a wide range of benefits in many clinical conditions, various side effects have also been reported and preclude its further use in certain patients. In this case, d-penicillamine-induced reversible airway obstruction developed, despite the "go slow--go low" regimen as suggested to reduce the incidence of its side effects. The patient had bronchial spasm and angioedema shortly after the dose was increased from 500 mg to 750 mg/day. Persistent vigilance is necessary to avoid potentially fatal reactions.
