Background. Hen’s egg allergy is one of the most common pediatric food allergies, requiring accurate diagnosis and management strategies. Oral food challenges (OFCs) are critical in evaluating food allergies; however, limited research has focused on the outcomes of challenges involving egg yolks. This retrospective study aims to assess the outcomes and characteristics of pediatric patients […]

Background. Mosquitoes are a family of the order Diptera. Throughout the world, there are two groups able to suck human blood and transmit diseases: the anophelines and the culicines comprise several genera such as Culex, Aedes and Aedes communis (Ac). Previous study has demostrated a significant relationship between Ac sensitization and either extract or single […]

Background. Children with milk and egg allergies have outcomes in which three-quarters are tolerant to baked forms of the allergenic food. Identifying predictors of tolerance to baked foods for IgE-mediated immediate-type reactions may guide the early introduction of baked allergens to diet and tolerance development. This study explores factors associated with early tolerance to baked […]

Background. It has been observed that diseases such as rhinitis and asthma not only affect the physical health of individuals but can also significantly impact their psychological well-being. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between allergic rhinitis (AR), non-allergic rhinitis (NAR), and asthma with symptoms of depression in adults. Methods. Comparative […]

Background. Cholinergic urticaria (CholU) is characterized by itching and/or stinging, painful micro wheals due to systemic heating. There are two standardized protocols to diagnose CholU using an exercise bike with heart rate or warming passive. The objective is to provide an affordable, new, low-tech test to assist the diagnostic. Methods. Cross-sectional study with a convenience […]
Background. In patients whose chronic urticaria (CU) cannot be controlled with omalizumab 300 mg and antihistamines, the dose can be increased up to 600 mg. The study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics of patients receiving 300 mg versus higher doses of omalizumab, and to evaluate baseline predictors for updosing. Methods. A total of 159 […]

Background. There is limited data on the use of baseline IgE level as a predictor of omalizumab response in chronic urticaria (CU). The aim of the present study was to determine if baseline serum total IgE level is associated with response at six months of standard-dose omalizumab. Methods. The study was designed as a retrospective, […]

Background. Childhood asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease, is linked to sleep-breathing disorders (SBD). The vulnerability of asthmatic children to SBDs is well-established, yet limited research focuses on adolescents. This study addresses the research gap, exploring the frequency and risk factors of SBD in adolescents with asthma. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 98 adolescents […]

Background. Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) response to anti-IgE treatment can be rapid, late or absent. Recently, potential mechanisms of activation of mast cells alternative to FceRI, including mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2), activation of coagulation cascade, and activation of eosinophils have been described. We measured several potential in-vitro markers, including well-known MRGPRX2 activators, in […]

Cannabis is the most widely used drug worldwide sought for recreational and medicinal purposes. Cannabis allergy was first described 50 years ago but has become more frequently reported over the past decade due to a larger industrial and domestic cultivation, and an evolving legal status. However, it remains an infrequent cause of allergy in the […]
