Of 154 patients with chronic urticaria, six manifested concomitant hyperthyroidism and four polycythemia vera. Investigations of serum IgE, immune complex quantitation, complement and skin biopsies failed to elucidate a causal relationship. Polycythemia vera and hyperthyroidism should be considered as possible associations in the evaluation of chronic urticaria.
