Background Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial disease associated with elevated production of IgE and sensitization to multiple food and inhalant allergens.The aim of this study was to assess the levels of total serum IgE (IgE) and specific IgE (sp IgE ) for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp), Blomia tropicalis (Bt), egg white, casein, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin in patients wit...

Clinical and laboratory studies on bronchial asthma in 200 Nigerian children who were seen during a 2 1/2-year period in Ibadan are described. Contrary to reports that the condition is rare in African children, after pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma is the next most common chronic chest disease in Ibadan. While many features of the disease are similar to those seen elsewhere, skin tests indicate ...

The role of Dermatophagoides (D.) pteronyssinus in atopic dermatitis (AD) was investigated by use of skin prick test (SPT) and total and specific IgE (RAST) to D. pteronyssinus. The study included 43 patients (17 male and 26 female), mean age 42.3 (range 19-77) years. All study patients met the Hanifin and Rajka criteria. Patients were divided into two groups: "pure" AD (n=27; 12 male and 15 fe...

Background: Patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) are at a significantly increased risk of allergic diseases. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an immunoglobulin that mediates sensitization to various allergens and related However, few studies have analyzed specific IgE on allergy biomarkers after KD diagnosed. Objective: This study aimed investigate the pattern levels against food inhalant allergens. Me...

Objective. To study predictors of bronchial asthma development in children 3-4 years old with recurrent broncho-obstructive syndrome by 5-6 age. Material and methods. The authors conducted a prospective cohort 2018-2020 the participation 61 aged 3–4 syndrome. Inclusion criteria: age years; ? 3 episodes past 12 months; informed voluntary consent. At first visit scientists determined levels serum...

Methods Children between 2 and 14 year old were submitted to a parasitological survey using the Hoffman, Pons e Janer (3 blades) method and the Kato-Katz (2 blades) method. The ISAAC questionnaire was applied to collect informations related to asthma. The Skin Prick Test was applied using extracts of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (DP), Blomia tropicalis (BT), Blatella germânica (BG), Periplane...

serum ige assay is a mainstay step in the allergy work up. allergenic extracts and molecular components are available at present. this real life study compared the serum specific ige levels against allergenic extracts with allergenic molecules in patients allergic to parietaria, betulaceae , and mites. this retrospective real life study included 489 subjects with respiratory allergy. inclusion ...

BACKGROUND Recommendations regarding the administration of imported fire ant whole body extract (IFA WBE) combined with aeroallergens or environmental allergens in a single immunotherapy injection are lacking. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the degradative effect of IFA WBE on cat, ragweed, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, and timothy grass allergens. METHODS Imported fire ant whole body extract was ...
