The basophil activation test: a sensitive test in the diagnosis of allergic immediate hypersensitivity to pristinamycin.
Immediate hypersensitivity (IHS) reactions to macrolides and to macrolide-derived antibiotics like pristinamycin are uncommon. In this context, there is little data available to appreciate the true value of biological tools regarding the diagnosis of immediate allergy to pristinamycin. Here we assess the clinical usefulness of the basophil activation test (BAT) to differentiate allergic from no...
متن کاملBasophil activation test is food adverse reactions
Methods 83 subjects (66/17 females/males) with reported food adverse reactions were included in the study. Eighteen atopic/allergic subjects were included as controls for the foods to which they had reported no reactions. BAT was performed on heparinazed blood incubated with food extracts. CD63 activation marker was evaluated on basophils by flow-cytometry. The stimulation index (SI) was calcul...
متن کاملSkin testing with β-lactam antibiotics for diagnosis of β-lactam hypersensitivity in children.
OBJECTIVE Skin testing with penicilloyl-polylysine (PPL) and a minor determinant mixture (MDM) were previously recommended for evaluating β-lactam hypersensitivity. However, PPL and MDM have not been commercially available. This study was to determine the negative predictive value (NPV) of skin testing with β-lactam antibiotics for the diagnosis of β-lactam hypersensitivity. METHOD Patients a...
متن کاملEvaluation of immediate allergic reactions to dipyrone using dipyrone metabolites in basophil activation test
Background Immediate selective hypersensitivity reactions to pyrazolones are thought to be mediated by specific-IgE antibodies. The diagnosis of selective reactions to pyrazolones is mainly based on the clinical history, skin testing and/ or drug provocation test (DPT). Skin testing has low sensitivity and has potential risk of eliciting an anaphylactic response as well as DPT. Therefore the us...
متن کاملThreshold for basophil activation test positivity in neuromuscular blocking agents hypersensitivity reactions
BACKGROUND Several different criteria for the positivity of the flow-assisted Basophil Activation Test (BAT) for the diagnosis of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (NMBA) hypersensitivity reactions have been used in past studies. Our aims were to determine the threshold for BAT positivity expressed as the stimulation index (SI, calculated as the percentage of activated basophils after stimulation w...
