Treatment of urticarial vasculitis: A systematic review

Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is a difficult-to-treat condition characterized by long-lasting urticarial rashes and histopathologic findings of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Treatment is dictated by severity of skin and systemic involvement and the underlying systemic disease. This is a comprehensive systematic review of the efficacy of current UV treatment options. We searched for relevant studies in seven databases including MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science. In total, 261 eligible studies and 789 unique UV patients were included in the systematic review.
