Background: Autologous serum skin test (ASST) evaluates the presence of any serum histamine-releasing factors and histamine-releasing autoantibodies. Autologous serum therapy (AST) is a therapy in which repeated injections of autologous serum are administered intramuscularly for treatment of chronicspontaneous urticaria (CSU). The aim of this study is to evaluate the advantages and compare the ...

Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients demonstrate functional autoantibodies against high affinity receptors of IgE (FcerI). Autologous serum skin test(ASST)is mostly used in chronic spontaneous urticaria to show its autoreactivity. ASST positive patients represent a severe group which can be benefited from autoserum therapy (AST). So, aim of our study is to evaluate the effica...

BACKGROUND There is a felt need for trying newer therapeutic modalities in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria, especially in the subset of patients classified as non-responders to antihistamines. Autologous serum therapy is an upcoming modality of treatment, and we decided to study its efficacy by subcutaneous route. AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of subcutaneous autologous serum...

limited evidence has been obtained concerning the beneficial effects of autologous serum therapy in treatment of skin disorders particularly chronic urticaria. in the present study, we have assessed the effect of this treatment method in patients with chronic urticaria (cu). this randomized single-blind controlled trial was performed on fifty consecutive patients with chronic urticaria. the pat...

background: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of autologous serum eye drop in treatment of recurrent corneal epithelial defect. m aterials and methods: fourteen patients with recurrent corneal epithelial defect were studied. autologous serum was prepared from the patients and diluted in 20% normal saline. the patients were instructed to use the autologous serum every six...

We examined the kinetics of the catalytic activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST, EC 2.6.1.1) isoenzymes in serum of 28 patients with myocardial infarction who were to receive either intracoronary urokinase--reperfusion angiographically proved--or conventional therapy (control group). Cytosolic (soluble) AST (s-AST) activity in serum increased rapidly immediately after recanalization, re...

Previous clinical trials of dendritic cell (DC)-based immunotherapy in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have reported induction of systemic immune responses and prolonged survival. From 2003 to 2005, we performed a clinical trial in which patients with malignant glioma underwent surgery for maximal cytoreduction followed by a 6-month 10-injection course of autologous DC-tumor vaccine...

Objective: To compare the efficacy of autologous serum with Antihistamine therapy in treating chronic urticaria.
 Study Design: Quasi-experimental study.
 Place and Duration Study: Dermatology Department, Pak Emirate Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jul 2018 to Jan 2019.
 Methodology: One hundred four patients urticaria (≥3 times/ week for ≥6 weeks) ages ranging 16 70...

Methods Patient blind, parallel group, randomised, controlled study of two study arm. 54 patients were given AST (GroupA) and control group of 57 patients given injection normal saline (placebo) (GroupB). AST/Placebo was given every week for 9 weeks and then followed-up for another 3 weeks. Levocetrizine was advised to be taken SOS in both groups. AU was diagnosed by autologous serum skin test....
