Objectives To clarify the independent risk factors and construct predictive model for intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG)-resistant KD (IVIGRKD). Results The ratio of male to female in the overall samples was 1.62:1 and the incidence of IVIGR was 17.9%. Multivariate regression analysis showed that the OR (95% CI) values of fever duration ≥ 7 days, delayed diagnosis, gamma-glutamyl transferase ≥ 2...

A patient returned from Algeria showing a grade III wound (WHO standard) produced by a dog bite, was treated with rabies nerve tissue vaccines (NTVs) lacked the rabies immunoglobin, and developed a visible local reaction to the vaccine. The last WHO position paper (2010) recommends replacing nerve-tissue vaccines with CCVs. The nerve tissue vaccines induce more-severe adverse reaction sand are ...

Background Allergy, the most frequent immune disorder affecting 30% of world's population, is consequence immunoglobin E (IgE) sensitization to allergens. Among genetic factors suspected be involved in allergy, HLA class-II genomic region a strong candidate. Objective To assess association between alleles and specific IgE (sIgE) large number respiratory allergen molecules. Methods The analysis ...
