Anaphylaxis from ingestion of mites: pancake anaphylaxis.

Oral mite anaphylaxis is a new syndrome characterized by severe allergic symptoms occurring immediately after eating foods made with mite-contaminated wheat flour. This syndrome, which is more prevalent in tropical environments, is triggered more often by pancakes, and for that reason, it has been designated "the pancake syndrome." Because cooked foods are able to induce the symptoms, it has be...

Analysis of Anaphylaxis and Anaphylaxis-Like Reactions-A Qualitative Study

Fatal or near fatal or life threatening anaphylaxis and anaphylaxis-like reactions are becoming more and more common nowadays. This is a matter of growing concern both for patients and doctors. A systematic review of such cases reported in the literature, if carried out periodically, will throw more insight on such adverse drug effects. As a regional pharmacovigilance centre, we came across man...

Triiodothyronine radioimmunoassay.

Highly specific antisera to triiodothyronine (T(3)) were prepared by immunization of rabbits with T(3)-bovine serum albumin conjugates. Antisera with T(3) binding capacity of up to 600 ng/ml were obtained. The ability of various thyronine derivatives to inhibit the binding of T(3-) (125)I to anti-T(3) serum was found to vary considerably. l-T(3), d-T(3) and several triiodoanalogues were potent ...
