OBJECTIVE To analyze the seasonality of blood parameters related to iron homeostasis, inflammation, and allergy in two riverine populations from the Brazilian Amazon. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 120 children and adolescents of school age, living in riverine communities of Porto Velho, Rondonia, Brazil, describing the hematocrit, hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron, total white bl...

Background: The etiology of urticaria is recognized only in a minority of cases. Allergies to a wide variety of agents have been suspected, as well as hyper reactivity to food additives or drugs. Recently, autoimmune reaction to immunoglobulin E (IgE) and later to high-affinity IgE receptors on mast cells has been reported. The aim of this study was to show elevated serum IgE levels in the pati...

hyper - immunoglobulin e syndrome is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by recurrent abscess formation, respiratory tract infections and very high titers of serum ige associated with peculiar face and skeletal features. we report a seven-year old  girl  presenting with persistent productive cough and  history of chronic eczematoid facial lesions since infancy  and  two episod...

multiple sclerosis (ms) and allergy are believed to up regulate t helper cell type 1 (th1) and t helper cell type 2 (th2) responses, respectively. it has been shown that disequilibrium in the  ratio  of  th1/th2  activities may increase frequency of  one  disease and  decrease the frequency of the other. the aim of this study was to investigate the relation of ms with allergy and atopy in new d...

OBJECTIVE Intimins are protein adhesins of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli capable of inducing attachment and effacement lesions in enterocytes. Anti-intimin antibodies are important for the protection from enteropathogenic E. coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli infections because these antibodies inhibit bacterial adhesion and impair the initial step of the patho...

Hyperimmunoglobulin E recurrent infection syndrome (HIES) is characterized by recurrent skin and lung infections, eczema, elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels (>2000 IU/mL), various connective tissue, skeletal, and vascular abnormalities.(1) We describe herein two brothers with HIES and documented the complications and management of such involvement.
