Abstract

This study describes the role of eosinophil in pathogenesis of chronic autoimmunologic urticaria. We present the actual data about migration of this cell into the inflammatory sites in response to the different chemotactic stimuli as well as secretion of wide range of proinflammatory mediators. This study also describes a newly discovered possibility of immediate activation of this cell by anti-FcεRII autoantibodies as well as actual and forthcoming therapeutic possibilities in the treatment of autoimmune urticaria.
