title: Anti-lamin-B autoantibodies in a patient with cold urticaria.
abstract: Anti-lamin-B autoantibodies at a significant level had been found on two occasions in the serum of a 56-year-old woman who was suffering from an apparently idiopathic chronic cold urticaria. Anti-lamin autoantibodies can be detected in various autoimmune disorders including hepatitis, vasculitis and peripheral blood cytopenia. In our patient, there was no other clinical or biological abnormality. A chance association cannot be ruled out.
