چکیده
Background The green area in Tashkent-city in Uzbekistan has been re-organized during the last two decades. It covers approximately 35% of the total area and includes classical vegetation present in Central Asia such as saltwort and newly planted species such as Bermuda grass. The knowledge of the molecular sensitization profiles of allergic patients is essential for the correct treatment with allergen specific immunotherapy but has not been established for allergic patients in the Central Asian area.

Sensitization profiles in polysensitized patients from a restricted geographical area: further lessons from multiplexed component resolved diagnosis.
BACKGROUND The micro-array techniques for the detection of specific IgE has improved the diagnostic procedures for allergic diseases. This method also allows to define sensitisation profiles from an epidemiological point of view. We studied the sensitisation pattern in a population of polysensitized patients with respiratory allergy, living in a restricted geographical area in the north-west It...
متن کاملDiagnosis and allergen immunotherapy treatment of polysensitised patients with respiratory allergy in Spain: an Allergists’ Consensus
BACKGROUND Polysensitisation is common in patients with respiratory allergy in Spain. Selection of the best allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is difficult in polysensitised patients. The present study was designed to help allergists better identify relevant allergens in these patients and to improve the selection of AIT in Spain. METHODS Sixty-two Spanish allergists answered a survey containing 88...
متن کاملProfilin sensitisation in a Mediterranean population.
BACKGROUND Sensitisation to pan-allergens has become an interesting tool for the study of the allergenic profile of different populations. Profilins are one of the most common pan-allergens to be studied because they are responsible for a large number of sensitisations and are clearly related to cross-reactivity and co-sensitisation. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate t...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning, Characterization, and Expression of Cuc m 2, a Major Allergen in Cucumis melo
Background: Several studies reported the clinical features of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity after ingestion of melon. Melon allergy is a common IgE-mediated fruit allergy in Iran. This prompted us to investigate immunochemical and molecular properties of the major allergen in melon fruit, to compare the IgE-binding capacity of the natural protein with the recombinant allergen, and to determine ...
متن کاملDiagnostic and therapeutic approaches in respiratory allergy are different depending on the profile of aeroallergen sensitisation.
BACKGROUND There are few studies which analyse the characteristics of allergic respiratory disease according to profiles of sensitisation to different allergens. This study describes the clinical features and therapeutic approaches, according to the sensitisation profile to relevant aeroallergens, in a sample of adult patients with a first-time diagnosis of respiratory allergy (rhinitis and/or ...
