Can Serum-Specific IgE/Total IgE Ratio Predict Clinical Response to Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy in Children Monosensitized to House Dust Mite?
Background. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is one of the important regimens for the treatment of allergic diseases. Predictive tests for the clinical response to SIT are limited. In this study we aimed to evaluate whether specific IgE/total IgE levels can predict clinical improvement in monosensitized patients to house dust mite treated with immunotherapy. Patients and Methods. We analyz...
متن کاملEvaluation of new sensitizations in asthmatic children monosensitized to house dust mite by specific immunotherapy.
Specific immunotherapy (SIT) is one of the treatment modalities recomended for the management of asthma and allergic rhinitis by international guidelines. A potential benefit of immunotherapy (IT) is to prevent the development of sensitisation to new allergens. There is stil no conclusion on this subject. One hundred twenty-two children 8-18 years old with intermittent asthma, with or without a...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum s-IgE/total IgE ratio in predicting clinical response to allergen-specific immunotherapy.
BACKGROUND To date, no predictive tests for the clinical response to allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASI) are available. Therefore an in vivo or in vitro test would be of great value. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate pretreatment parameters used in diagnosing allergic rhinitis and determining serum specific IgE (s-IgE) levels, serum total IgE (t-IgE) levels, and blood eosinophil counts and to...
متن کاملSerum specific IgE: a biomarker of response to allergen immunotherapy.
BACKGROUND Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has proven to be effective. However, no biomarkers capable of predicting the clinical response to AIT have been detected. The aim of the present study was to determine a cutoff value for serum specific IgE that could be associated with effective AIT. METHODS We evaluated 174 allergic patients (83 males) with ages ranging between 6 and 77 years. All pati...
متن کاملHouse Dust Mite Allergy and Associated Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy in Allergic Asthma
There is an increasing trend in the global prevalence, morbidity, and economic burden associated with asthma in recent decades [1]. The Global Strategy for Asthma Management and Prevention Report [2] defined asthma as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements are involved. Both host factors (primarily genetic) and environmental factors (primarily a...
