Introduction: Different types of allergic conditions develop in the half of patients infected with HIV due to the immune system dysfunction. Increased prevalence of allergic conditions in HIV infected patients lead us to conduct the study of allegro reactivity by carrying out skin tests to different types of allergens including an allergen to Candida. Objective: To study the immediate type skin...

In vivo tests may be used for the diagnosis of allergy to iodinated contrast media (ICM); however, the tests do not provide definitive diagnosis and are associated with risks for patients. Diagnoses based on in vitro tests are limited, and there are almost no relevant studies. Herein, the authors examined involvement of allergic reaction from a multilateral standpoint in 39 patients suspected o...

Fluoroquinolones are widely used in the management of infectious diseases, and are generally safe and well tolerated. However, immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions, have been reported. We present here a case of anaphylactic shock in a 26-year-old man following intravenous levofloxacin administration. Skin tests confirmed an immediate hypersensitivity reaction t...

One of the major challenges in mega cities is the degree of the preparedness of organizations, institutions and people in facing with critical conditions and their immediate reaction according to pre-defined instructions. Identification of priorities and acting accordingly is an undeniable factor in urban crisis management. The purpose of this research was to identify the priorities of prepared...

Betalactams are the most frequent cause of hypersensitivity reactions to drugs mediated by a specific immune mechanism. Immediate occur within 1 6 hours after betalactam administration, and generally IgE-mediated. They clinically translate into urticaria, angioedema anaphylaxis. Non-immediate or delayed hour administration. These common usually T cells. The type is maculopapular morbilliform ex...

Several theories of self-control [including intertemporal bargaining (Ainslie, 1992) and self-signaling (Bodner and Prelec, 2001)] imply that intertemporal decisions can be more farsighted than would be predicted by the incentive associated with rewards outside a decision context. We examined this hypothesis using behavior and functional neuroimaging. First, subjects expressed preferences betwe...

Background We experienced a rare case of immediate type hypersensitivity and late phase reaction to anti-tubercular therapy consisting of ethambutol and levofloxacin, which occurred in close succession, giving the appearance of a single, continuous reaction to one drug. Case presentation The patient was a man in his 70's who began therapy consisting of isoniazide, rifampicin, and ethambutol f...
