The Basophil Activation Test Is Safe and Useful for Confirming Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis
The basophil activation test (BAT) has been suggested as a complementary method for diagnosing drug allergies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical utility of this test in patients with drug-induced anaphylaxis. In total, 19 patients, all of whom had a history of moderate to severe anaphylaxis, were enrolled. None of the causative drugs had available in vitro tests or reliable ski...
متن کاملBeef-Induced Anaphylaxis Confirmed by the Basophil Activation Test
Beef allergies are relatively rare, especially in adults. However, clinical manifestations can vary from urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis to gastrointestinal symptoms. Currently available tests, such as skin testing or in vitro determination of beef-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), do not provide an accurate diagnosis of beef allergy. The recent development of the basophil activation test (BA...
متن کاملChlorpheniramine-induced anaphylaxis diagnosed by basophil activation test
Chlorpheniramine is a widely prescribed H1-antihistamine for relieving urticaria or histamine-mediated allergic reactions. However, although rare, it may cause immediate hypersensitivity reactions. The diagnosis is usually made by provocation test, but its application is often limited due to comorbidities or potential risk of severe reactions. In those cases, skin tests and basophil activation ...
متن کاملIs basophil activation test (BAT) really useful for allergy diagnosis?
Dear Editor, both the paper by Pereira Santos et al and the Editorial on the latest issue of this Journal, stressed on the essential, fairly irreplaceable role of basophil activation test (BAT) in allergy diagnosis (1,2). Certainly, BAT is a cell-based test and in this sense it should give fundamental insights about the role of these circulating leukocytes in hypersensitivity reactions, chronic...
متن کاملThe Basophil Activation Test Is Not a Useful Screening Tool for Hymenoptera Venom-Related Anaphylaxis in Patients with Systemic Mastocytosis.
BACKGROUND Systemic mastocytosis (SM) patients are at a high risk for anaphylaxis, with Hymenoptera as the main culprit. A screening instrument to identify which patients are sensitized to Hymenoptera before they experience anaphylaxis would therefore be of great value. The basophil activation test (BAT) is proposed as a possible tool for diagnosing Hymenoptera venom-related allergy (HVA), espe...
