| Abstract |
A food processing worker with a long history of eczema developed acute urticarial rash on the face following work in a chilled part of the factory during a spell of cold weather. A cold provocation test resulted in a pronounced urticarial rash. At warmer ambient temperatures, there was no reaction to the cold provocation test and the facial rash had improved. The report illustrates a case of essential acquired cold urticaria in which systemic cooling was necessary to produce a reaction to local cold provocation. |
