Omalizumab reported effective for urticarial symptoms in select HUVS patients

Hypocomplementemic Urticarial Vasculitis Syndrome

Summary

Several case reports described partial to complete control of urticarial wheals with omalizumab (anti-IgE) in HUVS patients, though systemic manifestations were less responsive. This suggests IgE-dependent mast cell activation may contribute to the urticarial component independently of complement-mediated vascular injury.
