INTRODUCTION — The oral allergy syndrome (OAS) describes allergic reactions that occur upon ingestion of certain fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables, or spices in pollen-sensitized individuals. The symptoms result from contact urticaria of the mucosal surface that contacts the food. Symptoms are usually limited to the mouth and throat and observed with raw forms of the food, because the responsible ...

This study is to analyze the prevalence and the associated lifestyle risk factors of self-reported allergic rhinitis (AR) in Kazakh population of Fukang City.A cross-sectional study was conducted using stratified random sampling method and 1689 Kazak people were surveyed. A standard questionnaire was used for face-to-face interview.The prevalence of self-reported AR of Kazakh population in Fuka...

Results We found 41 patients in total, with an average age of 5 years and 11 months (2 months-14 years). 27 (66%) patients were boys and 14 (34%) patients were girls. In all cases of anaphylaxis, symptoms were due to one or several foods except one, which was due to an antibiotic (amoxicillin). The foods involved were nuts (15,36.6%), egg (8,19.5%), fruits (5,12.2%), LTP syndrome (3,7.3%), cow’...

PURPOSE Pollen-related food allergy to fresh fruits and vegetables is a well-known clinical phenomenon. Bet v 1, the major birch pollen allergen, has been cloned and shows homologies to various food allergens (e.g. hazelnut, apple, celery, tomato). Allergy to profilin Bet v 2 was also described in 10-15% of patients sensitized to birch pollen. Objective of our work was to assess the diagnostic ...

This study analyzes the influence of the IgE response to certain olive pollen allergens in the modulation of the different clinical phenotypes of allergic disease and their relationship with the level of exposure to pollen and genetic factors. Patients from high-exposure areas had a complex IgE antibody response to allergens of Olea euroapea, which included 3 or more allergens in 75% of cases. ...

individual approaches to the diagnosis and management of penicillin allergy are practiced    by clinicians.   this cross-sectional survey of physicians was aimed at exploring their ways of dealing with diagnosis and management of penicillin g allergy.   of the 235 respondents, 63% believed patients’ self-reported history of penicillin allergy and avoided using penicillin g;     97% do so for pa...

macular or maculopapular skin reactions are frequent events in skin allergies as well as in viral infections. clinically, the differentiation may be difficult in the absence of a clear relationship with drug intake or in the failure to detect measles virus-specific antibodies. studies on drug-specific t cell lines and t cell clones isolated from skin-allergy patients have suggested that these c...

Allrgic reaction to natural rubber latex have increased during past 10 years especially among health worker and patients with high exposure to latex allergen. Latex allergy is associsted with clinical or serological cross reactivity to plant derived food allergcn especially tropical fruit for example avocado bannana chestnut kiwi papaya potato and peaches. In this study on health worker among 5...

Background Mathieu was diagnosed with egg allergy when he was 7 months old with complete tolerance at age 3. He subsequently developed an asthma (mite and dog sensitization) that was controlled with inhaled corticosteroids. At age 4, he developed a severe anaphylactic reaction shortly after drinking a fresh fruit juice of carrot and lemon. He drank a homemade juice and after fifteen minutes he ...

tis, asthma and food allergy, are now rapidly increasing chronic health problem in most countries. Mast cells and basophils are well-known as a critical participant in various biologic processes of allergic diseases. These cells express on their surface membrane receptors with high affinity and specificity for IgE. The interaction of multivalent antigens with surface-bound IgE releases histamin...
