Abstract:
The prevalence of dermographism in 249 Korean pregnant and puerperal women was studied using a dermographic tester. The result was summarized as follows: 1. The prevslence rate of dermographism was 8.0%(20/249). 2. The prevalence rate of dermographism was not significantly correlated with the stages of pregnancy(p>0.1). 3 There was no significant difference in the prevalence rate of dermographism between the pregnant and puerperal women(8.0%) and the control group of Korean women in the same ages(9.5%) (p>0.1).
