[ 1 ] - Clinical and Immunological Efficacy of Aspirin Desensitization in Nasal Polyp Patients with Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and the underlining mechanism of aspirindesensitization among patients with Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD). Thirtyeightpatients, who had undergone an aspirin challenge test and were diagnosed as havingAERD, were engaged in a double-blind randomized clinical trial. They were divided into twogroups—an active group of patients who went t...

[ 3 ] - The Relationship Between Serum Interleukin-6 Level and Chronic Urticaria

Background: The immunologic profile of chronic urticaria is not only important for diagnostic purposes, but also for therapeutic approaches. This study evaluated the serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and Interferon-ϒ (IFN-ϒ) in patients with chronic urticaria to find a biomarker.Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients with chronic urticaria referring to the...

[ 4 ] - Rapid desensitization for hypersensitivity reactions to chemotherapeutic drugs; a case series

Usage of cancer chemotherapeutics drugs can be associated with adverse drug reactions. When IgE-mediated drug reactions are formed following administration of a chemotherapeutic drug that is a drug of choice, drug desensitization protocols can be helpful. Hypersensitivity reactions can be allergic or nonallergic, but the clinical manifestations are similar. Rapid drug desensitization (RDD) is e...

[ 6 ] - The study of the serum levels of IL-10 and TGF-beta1 in children with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders compared to children with gastroesophageal reflux disease and healthy controls

Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are a heterogeneous group of GI disorders, associated with an increase of the eosinophils in the gastrointestinal mucosal tissue. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), as a subset of T cells with proven prominent role in immunopathology and protection against allergic diseases, appear to play a role in EGID pathogenesis. In the present study, ser...

[ 7 ] - Serum Interleukin-17 Evaluation in Patients With Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease

Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders or diseases (EGIDs) may result from an abnormal immune-mediated response to food antigens. Activated eosinophils release various mediators with inflammatory properties which may result in tissue and subsequently organ damage. The cytokine milieu of these patients has revealed increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inc...
