Description
Saad Alhumaid and a large team review how long hives tied to viral infection can last in a 2026 systematic review. Viruses commonly trigger sudden hives in children and adults. Whether the rash can drag on, turn chronic, or keep returning was poorly mapped.
Five studies with 596 people met the rules after a search through March 2026. Most cases settled within weeks to a few months of the infection. A small share lasted past six months, and a few past a year. Return and chronic rates ranged widely across studies, though many mixes blurred the infection-only picture. The authors ask for cleaner long-term tracking.
