From allergen sources to reduction of allergen exposure.
Allergen exposure plays a major role in the development of sensitization, inflammation and symptomatic asthma. The development of new means of detecting allergens has enabled the evaluation of the effect of a reduction in allergen exposure to be better assessed. In order to prevent allergen exposure it is necessary to determine the allergen sources and reservoirs to which avoidance measures sho...
متن کاملAssessment of indoor allergen exposure.
Of the four modes of treating human allergic disease, avoidance or separation of the allergic patient from the allergen source is most effective and least expensive. The clinical immunology laboratory has established efficient and inexpensive "reservoir" dust sampling and processing procedures to obtain a surface dust specimen that reflects the allergen burden of the environment. Following extr...
متن کاملControl of exposure to mite allergen and allergen-impermeable bed covers for adults with asthma.
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of avoidance of house-dust-mite allergen (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus 1 [Der p1]) in the management of asthma is uncertain. METHODS We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of allergen-impermeable bed covers involving 1122 adults with asthma. The primary outcomes were the mean morning peak expiratory flow rate over a four-week period du...

is an important contributor to childhood asthma, and these investigators sought to determine whether the use of mattress and pillow encasings resulted in effective long-term control of mattress HDM levels, thus reducing the need for maintenance asthma medication. Study Population. The subjects were 60 children (5–15 years of age) with asthma and HDM allergy, in the absence of any other clinical...
متن کاملExposure to allergen and diesel exhaust particles potentiates secondary allergen-specific memory responses, promoting asthma susceptibility.
BACKGROUND Exposure to traffic pollution particulate matter, predominantly diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), increases the risk of asthma and asthma exacerbation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE We sought to examine the effect of DEP exposure on the generation and persistence of allergen-specific memory T cells in asthmatic patients and translate these fi...
