A 25-year-old man with solar urticaria is described. The action spectrum ranged from 400 to 500 nm. ⋯ The urticarial reaction was not blocked by local injection of antihistamines and not prevented by histamine depletion with polymyxin B sulfate. These data suggest that histamine may not play a major role in weal production in this case.
