Cholinergic urticaria (CholU) is characterized by pinpoint-sized wheals with itching and/or stinging pain under sweating conditions, including hot bathing, physical exercise and emotional stress. 1 The type I hypersensitivity to sweat is proposed to be involved in its pathogenesis. 2 Indeed, more than 60% of patients with CholU shows immediate-type skin reactions upon intradermal injection of autologous sweat, and histamine release from basophils against the semi-purified sweat antigen in histamine release assay (HRA). 2, 3 Histamine released from skin mast cells also plays an important role in the development of wheals in CholU. 1 In this study, we examined histamine concentrations in sweat of patients with CholU to describe a role of sweat histamine in the wheal formation of CholU.Nine patients with CholU and 10 healthy volunteers (control) were recruited along with enrollment of seven patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and seven patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU)(Supplementary Table 1). Following exercise for 15e30 min, a sauna at 50 C for 10 min, a bath in hot water or emotional stress, sweat was collected by using a syringe from subjects' skin of the head/neck or the trunk/extremities. The amount of histamine in sweat/plasma was measured by a high-performance liquid chromatography system. 4 HRA in response to the semipurified sweat antigen was performed by using the subjects’ basophils as described previously. 3 This study was approved by the institutional review board of Hiroshima University Hospital (approval number, E-1420).
