Abstract
We have studied the plasma kallikrein amidolytic activity in healthy c ontrol subjects (inactive), patients with chronic urticaria (active) a nd patients with acute urticana (active) from their admission to the e mergency room (active) to the time after which their clinical symptoma tology had disappeared (inactive). We found statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) in the active groups of urticaria patients. Thi s leads us to believe that kallikrein participates in the development of symptomatology in these patients.
