Allergological work-up in the suspicion of drug hypersensitivity in patients undergoing allergen-specific immunotherapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Poorly documented self-reported drug allergy (DA) is a frequent problem in daily clinical practice and has a considerable impact on prescription choices. Atopy has been described as a risk factor for drug hypersensitivity (DH). The aim of this study was to better investigate the cases of suspicion of DH reported by patients undergoing subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT).

Objective(s):Sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy is a safe and effective method for treatment of IgE-mediated respiratory allergies; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study was planned to test whether sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can exert epigenetic mechanisms through which the airway allergic responses can be extinguished. Materials and Methods:BALB/c...

The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...

Background Coexistence of food hypersensitivity are frequently observed in patients with allergy to plant and animals. Principal method of cure of aeroallergens hypersensitivity is specific allergy immunotherapy (SIT). Effectiveness of this therapy is assessed based on clinical symptoms abated. Sometimes we observed less effect this method of treatment in some patients, probably connected with ...
متن کاملEpidemiology of self-reported drug-induced immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions in the surgical population: a 5-year single-center survey in a romanian allergo-anaesthesia center
AIM Immediate-type hypersensitivity drug reactions are frequently under-reported, epidemiological data being imprecise. The aim of our study was to identify the drugs involved and to describe the clinical characteristics of previous immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions in a large series of Romanian surgical patients, and to establish the concordance between in vivo and in vitro tests. ME...
متن کاملRole of basophil activation test for monitoring the immunological changes during desnsitization to cow’s milk: a case report
The basophil activation test (BAT) has proven to be a useful tool for the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy and the evaluation of clinical tolerance in food allergic patients. Until now, successful oral desensitization to food allergen has been correlated with changes in cytokine production (IL-4 and INF-g) and allergenspecific IgE and IgG4 antibodies. We report a case of a 12-year-old mal...
