| Core Tip |
Yellow urticaria (YU) is a rare urticarial subtype in which wheals appear yellow due to bilirubin deposition in the dermis during mast-cell degranulation, occurring exclusively in the context of hyperbilirubinemia. We report Lebanon’s first documented case: A 70-year-old male with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis (Child-Pugh Class C) and predominantly direct hyperbilirubinemia who developed YU following an anaphylactoid reaction to intravenous albumin infusion. Lesions resolved within 24 hours despite persistent hyperbilirubinemia, confirming that urticaria and bilirubin elevation are independent co-existing conditions. |
