Urticaria is a skin condition characterised by wheals or angioedema. Wheals develop quickly in minutes, generally taking 3–8 hours, disappear up to 24 hours, angioedema could last up to 72 hours. Wheals may continue to appear for days, weeks or months. In chronic urticaria symptoms persist for over 6 weeks. Chronic urticaria is divided into chronic inducibile urticaria and chronic spontaneous urticaria. Chronic spontaneus urticaria is usually caused by infection, pseudoallergy, autoreactivity or an unknown cause. The activity of urticaria is measured by urticaria activity score (UAS). Non sedating antihistamines is currently the first choise...

MUDr. Lucie Růžičková Jarešová

Dermatol. praxi. 2016;10(1):20-23 | DOI: 10.36290/der.2016.005  

Superficial skin mycoses occur as a result of infection with parasitic fungi. In the summer time, the number of cases rises due to higher temperatures, sweating, tight clothing and footwear, and increased frequency of sports activities. Based on aetiology, superficial mycoses can be divided into candidiases and dermatophytoses. Dermatophytoses are classified according to localisation. In most cases, local treatment is sufficient. It must be initiated early and be thorough as well as long-term. Systemic treatment is indicated when there is a risk of spread into deeper tissues, involvement of large areas or failure of local treatment. More at risk of...
