UNLABELLED Aim of our study was to evaluate the importance of atopy patch testing with aeroallergens as a diagnostic method in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. METHOD The complet dermatological and allergological examinations were performed in 29 patients; 10 men, 19 women with the average age of 27.8 years, min. 17, max. 57 years; with the median SCORAD 24.2 points, s.d. 13.3 point...

We report a case of a 38-year-old mold-allergic patient who developed episodes of generalized urticaria and systemic anaphylactic shock immediately after ingesting button mushrooms. A manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and a NADP-dependent mannitol dehydrogenase (MtDH) from Agaricus bisporus mushroom were identified as patient-specific IgE-binding proteins. Cross-reactivity betwee...

aeroallergens continue to have a key role in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergic diseases and have recently received increased attention in medical research throughout the world. the prevalence of aeroallergens vary in different regions, depending on the type of climate. the aim of the present study was to determine prevalence of the sensitivity to aeroallergens among patients with asthma a...

Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) usually develop symptoms when they reach the age of 6-7 years, but the risk of developing respiratory allergies, asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) remains high. In most children with AD, the development of asthma and AR is associated with sensitization to food allergens and/or aeroallergens, while only a small percentage missed atopic diathesis. In about 35%...

The increasing need for the daily report of aeroallergens and in an effort to bring computer engineering technology into aerobiology, this project focuses on integrating computer engineering solutions with aerobiology to streamline and facilitate easy storage, manipulation and retrieval of data related to aeroallergens studies by developing an intuitive and easy to use computer application. Cur...

Breastfeeding is widely recommended to reduce risk of sensitization, eczema and asthma. However, the role of breastfeeding in prevention of allergic diseases is uncertain. We aimed to investigate whether the relationship between breastfeeding and sensitization to aeroallergens is modified by cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) genotype. This study included 1,828 school children aged 9-12. We a...

Objective To investigate the alterative spectrum and trends of aeroallergens sensitization in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Guangzhou, China in the past 10 years. Participants and methods In this retrospective study, 4,111 children with complaints of nasal hyper-reactivity who visited the Pediatric Department and/or Otolaryngology Department from January 2007 to November 2016 were e...

molecules, is a prerequisite to provoking eczematous lesions, observed after application of aeroallergens to the skin of atopic patients, strongly supports this concept. Thereby, IgE receptors are the connecting link between the specificity gaining IgE molecules and the APC. However, Fc«RI seems to play the major role in these phenomena. It should be noted that Fc«RI expressed on circulating mo...

introduction:the prevalence of atopic diseases has increased in recent decades dramatically. the most common aeroallergens in northeastern iran have not been fully defined. define the most common aeroallergens in allergic patients based on the skin prick test (spt) was aimed in this investigation.materials and methods:this cross-sectional study enrolled 1,006 allergic patients (aged 1–86 years)...
