(1). The mechanisms by which mast cells are activated and induce chronic urticaria is not fully understood‚ however they can separated into immunological and non-immunological (2). IgE mediated allergic urticaria is ‚ also known as a Type 1 hypersensitivity and is initiated by antigen/allergen binding to mast cell surface bound IgE leading to cross linking on the surface of mast cells and basophilis thus causing degranulation with histamine release (3). Non allergic urticaria can be mediated
