Abstract

A 40-year-old female patient has been suffering from localized heat urticaria for 8 years and, in addition, from localized cold urticaria for 1 year. Both diseases could be proved by adequate physical tests. Exposition to localized heat provoked decreased serum complement, suggesting activation of the alternative pathway.
