title: [Chronic urticaria in children].
abstract: Chronic urticaria (more than 6 weeks) in childhood is rare; either the history and the clinical examination are very important to make distinction between "isolated chronic urticaria" and "urticaria associated with systemic diseases". The etiologic factors responsible for "isolated chronic urticaria" are parasitologic, infectious diseases, drugs, physical factors. If those are not present, the question of food responsibility will be discuss.
