PG - 438-445 LID - 10.1097/ACI.0000000000000927 [doi] AB - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the recent advancements and relevance of the autoimmune theories in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). RECENT FINDINGS: Two primary types of autoimmunity, Type I and Type IIb, have emerged as major contributors to CSU, characterized by immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies, respectively. Genetic evidence supports the notion that CSU shares more similarities with other autoimmune diseases rather than atopic diseases. Novel autoallergens such as FcepsilonRI and tissue transglutaminase have been identified, contributed to our understanding of autoimmune mechanisms. Furthermore, the potential overlap between Type I and Type IIb autoimmunity has been recognized. Evaluating the autoimmune status of CSU patients through biomarkers and understanding their clinical implications is vital for effective management. For instance, CSU patients with Type IIb autoimmunity, with or without coexisting Type I autoimmunity, may exhibit resistance to H1-antihistamines and omalizumab treatment but could potentially respond well to cyclosporine or Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors. SUMMARY: Further investigations are needed to explore new autoallergens and autoantibodies in CSU, establishing their connection to the development of autoimmunity. The efficacy of novel drugs targeting different mechanisms should be examined to determine their responses in both autoimmune CSU and nonautoimmunity-related CSU.
