title: Urticaria in cystic fibrosis.
abstract: One hundred patients with cystic fibrosis were screened for urticaria. The prevalence of urticaria in cystic fibrosis was 16 percent. There were eleven patients with urticaria associated with atopy and five without atopy. Acute urticaria was detected more frequently in the atopic group, and chronic urticaria was more common in the nonatopic group. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between the two groups of cystic fibrosis patients with urticaria.
