The book consists of 15 chapters in which urticaria classification, urticaria etiopathogenesis, urticaria clinics, urticarial syndromes, angioedemas, diagnosis, pathogenesis and patho‐ physiology of urticaria, and treatment options are discussed.

We are thankful to our families for understanding our missed family time and grateful to all the contributors and leading experts for their valuable chapters, which provide an in-depth view of all aspects of the content.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to magnificent Ataturk who said "Our true mentor in life is science" and inspired us the importance of working on positive science.
