Clinical Images of Positive Diagnostic Challenge Tests.
Positive diagnostic challenge tests are shown for four common chronic inducible
urticaria syndromes: dermatographia, characterized by a linear wheal–flare
reaction elicited with light stroking of the volar surface of the arm with a
tongue blade (Panel A); cold urticaria, characterized by raised swelling, which
is demarcated from normal skin after application of an ice pack (Panel B);
cholinergic urticaria, which has the appearance of a satellite wheal (arrow)
after intradermal injection of methacholine (circle) (Panel C); and delayed
pressure urticaria, as illustrated by an indurated, swollen area that developed
at the site of, and 6 hours after, a pressure stimulus in the patient shown in
Panels D and E.
