Abstract:
Solar urticaria is a rare skin disease characterized by urticarial reactions immediately following exposure to sunlight or artificial radiation. A 24-yr-old man had solar urticaria that was activated by visible light. Positive result of passive transfer of the reactivity with the patients serum to the skin of normal recipient suggested that his condition was attributable to an allergic response. Result of reverse passive transfer studies was negative. We report a case of solar urticaria which appeares to belong to type N in the classification of Harber.
