Abstract

Introduction: Urticaria is one of several immune-mediated diseases. It is very troublesome and hampers the quality of life significantly. Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is associated with red, oedematous, erythematous, raised and itchy wheals with or without angioedema. A serological marker such as immunoglobulin E (IgE) is raised in urticaria, which is one of the diagnostic criteria of urticaria. The successful treatment lies in the fact of controlling or immunomodulating the IgE level. As per available data, Homoeopathy is very effective for the management of urticaria by bringing down the serum IgE level within normal limits. Case Summary: A 10-year-old female child visited the outpatient department with the complaint of urticaria along with increased serum IgE level. In the first visit, all the symptoms, objective and subjective, were collected, followed by framing of the totality of symptoms and repertorisation. The anti-allergic medication before the visit was gradually tapered off. The MONARCH score of +7 proved the causal attribution between the medicine and the outcome in the patient. The eruption of urticarial rashes eventually stopped, and the IgE level was restored to normal range. This case study reveals a positive role of homoeopathic treatment in immune-mediated diseases such as urticaria.
