Diagnostic usefulness of histamine release test (HRT) and skin tests in IgE-mediated allergy to clavulanic acid

چکیده
Methods Nineteen patients with an immediate hypersensitivity reaction after AX-CLV administration were evaluated. Skin tests were done with PPL, DM, AX and CLV (DIATER, Madrid, Spain). Controls (n=21) with proven AX-CLV tolerance were included in the context of a Spanish cross-sectional multicentric study including five hospitals. In vitro tests were performed by direct and passive sensitization HRT (Reflab, Copenhagen, Denmark) using AX and CLV at different concentrations. Tolerance to AX was assessed by DPT.

Basophil Activation Tests: A Diagnostic Break-Through in Opiate Allergy
416 http://e-aair.org We have read the manuscript about codeine (3-methylmorphine) anaphylaxis by Yoo et al. with great interest and would like to take the opportunity to raise some issues and communicate our experience. As recently reviewed, despite their frequent and ubiquitous use, genuine IgE-mediated allergy to opiates remains exceedingly rare. Also, correct diagnosis is not straightforwar...
متن کاملDiagnosis of clavulanic acid allergy using basophil activation and leukotriene release by basophils.
Clavulanic acid is a potent inhibitor of B-lactamase that is increasingly prescribed in association with amoxicillin. We report 2 cases of patients who experienced pruritus, wheals, and angioedema after oral intake of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Routine skin tests for B-lactam antibiotics and specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E were negative in both patients. Analysis of CD63 expression by the baso...
متن کاملRelation between skin tests, inhalation tests, and histamine release from leucocytes and IgE in house-dust mite allergy.
This study was concerned with the correlation between skin test, bronchial provocation test, and histamine release from leucocytes and the serum level of total and allergen-specific IgE in patients atopic to house-dust mite allergen (Dermatophagiodes pteronyssinus) as measured by an intracutaneous skin test. It is concluded that, assuming a positive provocation test to be evidence of allergy, e...
متن کاملUse of CD63 expression as marker of in vitro basophil activation in identifying the culprit in insect venom allergy.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of insect venom allergy and the indication for specific immunotherapy is based on history, skin tests and demonstration of hymenoptera venom specific IgE-antibodies. In cases with contradictory test results additional cellular tests are recommended. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the usefulness of a newly introduced test based on basophil CD63 expression as marker of activati...

BACKGROUND New in vitro diagnostic methods for IgE-mediated drug allergic reactions, such as basophil activation test and antigen specific sulfidoleukotriene test, have proven their usefulness in patients with positive skin tests. OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of basophil activation test and antigen specific sulfidoleukotriene test in the diagnosis of patients with IgE-mediated allergy t...
