title: Cold urticaria in Saudi Arabia.
abstract: During an 8-year period we have seen two cases of cold-induced urticaria at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, a major tertiary centre in Saudi Arabia. This indicates a lower prevalence in Saudi Arabia compared with other countries. One of our patients did not respond to cyproheptadine but she had an excellent response to ketotifen.
