Description: This course offers a comprehensive update on the diagnosis and management of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a burdensome skin condition marked by recurrent hives and/or angioedema. Participants will explore evidence-based diagnostic approaches that reduce unnecessary testing, examine the clinical relevance of CSU endotypes and biomarkers, and apply guideline-based treatment algorithms. The course also highlights the evolving therapeutic landscape—including BTK inhibitors, IL-4/IL-13 inhibitors, and mast cell–targeted therapies—with emphasis on mechanism of action, clinical trial data, safety, and patient selection. Designed for allergists, dermatologists, and pediatric dermatologists, seeking to improve diagnostic accuracy, personalizing treatment, and effectively integrating emerging therapies into practice.
