allergy diagnosis needs to be improved in polysensitized patients due to the existence of possible confounding factors in this type of patients. component resolved diagnosis (crd) is a new concept in the investigation of polysensitized patients. the aim of this study was to evaluate if the utilization of immunocap isac improve the diagnosis of the polysensitized allergic rhinitis patients. skin...

results: a total number of 117 patients were evaluated for adverse drug reactions, among them, 97 (82.9%) were considered to have immunological drug reactions. the most common symptoms of allergic drug reactions were morbilliform eruptions, serum sickness, dress (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms), and toxic epidermal necrolysis. in 62 patients, anticonvulsant drugs had the prom...

Background Subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT) is a valuable treatment option for patients with controlled mild to moderate allergic asthma However, SCIT is contraindicated for patients with severe persistent asthma due to a potential systemic allergic reaction. Several studies in adolescents and adults with persistent allergic rhinitis and moderate persistent allergic asthma ha...

Histamine is a mediator, which increases the permeability of capillaries during the early phase of allergic reaction, causes smooth muscle contraction of bronchi and stimulates mucous glands in the nasal cavity. Antihistamines are the basis of symptomatic treatment in the majority of allergic diseases, especially allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, urticaria and anaphylaxis. The cardiot...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of periocular allergic skin reactions to topical neomycin, polymyxin B, and dexamethasone (NPD) ophthalmic ointment. METHODS A consecutive patient prospective study was performed. A total of 522 patients who had a procedure involving incision of the periocular skin with subsequent postoperative application of NPD ophthalmic ointment we...

One of our difficulties in deciding the importance of allergy in asthma stems from difficulties in defining terms. An allergic reaction can be defined as a specific reaction depending upon previous sensitization. The altered tissue reaction in a broad biological sense as originally conceived by von Pirquet in I906 when he coined the term allergy, now has included in the definition so many clini...

INTRODUCTION Some reports showed allergic reaction to propofol. However, propofol has bronchodilating effect. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether propofol is safely used for patients with allergy or bronchial asthma. METHODS Seventy females with bronchial asthma or allergic diseases and 70 females without any allergic diseases for mastectomy were randomly allocated to propofol ...

the aim of current study is to describe clinical similarities and differences between atopic and non-atopic asthma in children. in a cross-sectional study, 95 asthmatic children (75 allergics and 20 nonallergics) were included in the study. demographic, clinical, and familial history were compared between two groups. there was no significant differences between variables like sex, age of onset ...

We conducted a prospective study of 60 patients in a tertiary care referral center to ascertain the status of cell-mediated immunity as determined by delayed hypersensitivity reactions in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) or allergic rhinitis. Delayed hypersensitivity as detected by Mantoux testing is generally accepted as a reflection of the level of cell-mediated immunoactivity-the...
