Immediate hypersensitivity to penicillins with negative skin tests--the value of specific IgE.
The determination of specific IgE in patients with history of penicillins hypersensitivity is simple, safe and widely available. The positive and negative predictive values of this determination, however, are not yet established. In order to evaluate them, we performed specific IgE determination and diagnostic drug challenges in a group of 22 patients with a clear history of immediate penicilli...
متن کاملDifferent Learning Levels in Multiple-choice and Essay Tests: Immediate and Delayed Retention
This study investigated the effects of different learning levels, including Remember an Instance (RI), Remember a Generality (RG), and Use a Generality (UG) in multiple-choice and essay tests on immediate and delayed retention. Three-hundred pre-intermediate students participated in the study. Reading passages with multiple-choice and essay questions in different levels of learning were giv...
متن کاملHypersensitivity reactions to tocilizumab: role of skin tests in diagnosis.
Hypersensitivity reactions to tocilizumab: role of skin tests in diagnosis SIR, Tocilizumab (TCZ) is a humanized anti-human IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) monoclonal antibody that binds to circulating soluble IL-6R and membrane-expressed IL-6R. This inhibits IL-6 binding to both forms of IL-6R and blocks the pro-inflammatory effects of IL-6 [1]. TCZ is approved in Europe and the USA for the treatment of...
متن کاملImmediate hypersensitivity reactions to IV non-ionic iodinated contrast in computed tomography
BACKGROUND With use of computed tomography (CT), intravenous contrast media is used routinely to help define anatomy and identify any pathology. Non-ionic iodinated contrast agents have largely replaced ionic agents and although rare, reactions to contrast are still important and more so with the continual increase in CT examinations in the last decade. OBJECTIVE To examine the incidence, sev...
متن کاملAllergic Immediate Hypersensitivity to Iodinated Contrast Media
Background: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHR) to iodinated contrast media (ICM) have traditionally been considered nonallergic; however, the increasingly frequent reporting of positive skin test and basophil activation test results suggests a specifi c allergic mechanism in some patients. Skin tests have been proposed as a useful tool for diagnosis, although their sensitivity and predi...
