Recent advances in mast cell clonality and anaphylaxis
نویسنده
چکیده
Clonal expansion of mast cells carrying the D816V c-kit mutation results in mastocytosis. Recent studies identified the presence of clonal mast cells carrying this mutation in patients with anaphylaxis without classic diagnostic findings of systemic mastocytosis.

Epidemiology, Mechanisms, and Diagnosis of Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening, multisystem syndrome resulting from the sudden release of mediators by mast cells and basophils. Although anaphylaxis is often under-communicated and thus underestimated, its incidence appears to have risen over recent decades. Drugs are among the most common triggers in adults, being analgesics and antibiotics the most common causal agents. Anaphylaxi...
متن کاملAnaphylaxis: Recent advances in assessment and treatment.
The incidence rate of anaphylaxis is increasing, particularly during the first 2 decades of life. Common triggers include foods, medications, and insect stings. Clinical diagnosis is based on a meticulous history of an exposure or event preceding characteristic symptoms and signs, sometimes but not always supported by a laboratory test such as an elevated serum total tryptase level. Physician-i...

The relation of tissue mast cells to immune reactions, particularly anaphylaxis, has been the subject of extensive investigation and speculation in recent years. It is generally agreed that a variety of pharmacologically active substances are involved in the pathogenesis of anaphylaxis, that many of these substances are stored in tissue mast cells, and that anaphylaxis in many species is mediat...

متن کاملAngiopoietin1 Inhibits Mast Cell Activation and Protects against Anaphylaxis
Since morbidity and mortality rates of anaphylaxis diseases have been increasing year by year, how to prevent and manage these diseases effectively has become an important issue. Mast cells play a central regulatory role in allergic diseases. Angiopoietin1 (Ang-1) exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting vascular permeability, leukocyte migration and cytokine production. However, Ang...
