They may be classified as dietary, medicinal, emotional, or morbid in character, and the resulting eruption must be regarded as a purely symptomatic one. Urticaria from the use of certain articles of food (U. ab ingestis) usually appears in an acute form, with or without fever.

Various drugs are liable to produce urticaria in an acute form as an incidental effect of their action. Quinine, valerian, copaiba, hyoscyamus, and chloral are the ones most likely to produce it in ordinary practice. Urticaria from a sudden emotion, such as anger, grief, or shame, is possible, and these causes have been noted by various writers. Disease or functional disturbance of internal organs constitutes a fruitful source of urticaria in its ...
