Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
The association between chronic urticaria and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis has been rarely reported in children.
Case Report: We are reporting a case of an eight-year-old girl with chronic urticaria unresponsive to antihistaminic therapy, who was subsequently diagnosed to have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Patient’s urticarial lesion remitted after treatment with levothyroxine. Conclusion: We emphasize to consider testing for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis by thyroid autoantibodies and thyroid profile in cases of chronic urticaria, and starting the patient on levothyroxine for the symptomatic improvement of both chronic urticaria and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. | |
